Things to do and see in St. Louis

While we have a pretty packed schedule for this year’s conference, we do expect you’ll have some down time and opportunities to check out all that St. Louis has to offer.

Enjoy the fall weather at take a stroll through Forest Park (http://www.explorestlouis.com/myStl/memberDetails.asp?mID=229&pt=1&ic=2), which is 500 acres larger than Central Park in NYC. The fresh air might be just what you need after a day of learning and networking!

Flirt with lady luck and visit one of five area casinos including: Lumiére Place (www.lumiereplace.com), Harrah’s (www.harrahs.com), The President (www.presidentcasino.com/stlouis), Ameristar (www.ameristarcasinos.com) and Casino Queen (www.casinoqueen.com). Just be sure to remember what Kenny Roger’s said, “you gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em!”

For all you car lovers, check out the Museum of Transportation (www.museumoftransport.org). Here you can see over 300 exhibits showcasing the history of everything transportation. Best part is that admission is FREE!

Spend the evening out on the Mississippi on the Tom Sawyer Paddle Wheeler (www.gatewayarch.com). What better way to see the sights of St. Louis than from the water. Bonus—they have dinner cruises as well!

With all that St. Louis has to offer we hope you’ll think of that as an added plus to attending this year’s annual conference---just don’t let us catch you skipping out on sessions! :)

Meet you in St. Louis!
