2011 ASP Education and Public Outreach Conference

30 November 2010

Friday, July 30 - Wednesday, August 3, 2011
Tremont Plaza Hotel, Baltimore Maryland

The Astronomical Society of the Pacific invites you to a national conference on science education and public outreach in conjunction with its 123rd annual meeting. The conference, with the theme of "Connecting People to Science," will be held at the Tremont Plaza Hotel in Baltimore, a few blocks north of the Inner Harbor in the city's downtown area and close to restaurants and attractions. The conference proper will be held Monday through Wednesday, August 1-3, with special events the preceding weekend, July 30-31. Conference sessions will take place in the completely restored Baltimore Masonic Temple building, providing a unique and beautiful setting for learning what's up, sharing our experience and results, improving our practice, and making connections with each other across science disciplines.

Please mark your calendars for this "hands-on," intellectually stimulating meeting for everyone involved in science education and public outreach. Watch for announcements of special co-hosts, co-sponsors, speakers, events, and the call for abstracts between now and early 2011.

We're all about the business of connecting people to science -- with a variety of sciences in a variety of ways. Come to Baltimore next summer to connect with your colleagues and advance our combined efforts to create a science-literate and science-rich future!
