Conference News - July 2006Celebrate Gardening in the Natural
State! Hi, and thanks for your interest in attending the 2007 International Master Gardener Conference (IMGC) in Little Rock, Arkansas. The host committee has been working hard to make sure that this will be a great conference with lots to offer our fellow Master Gardeners from around the country and Canada. Conference Site: The conference will be hosted at the Peabody Hotel/Statehouse Convention Center in downtown Little Rock from May 2 to 5, 2007. Please save those dates, and think about coming early and staying late. There is so much to see and do in the Natural State. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to see Little Rock and other areas of Arkansas. We will forward information about the pre-/and post-conference tours in the near future and suggest things to do and places to see while you’re here. You are going to love our state and enjoy some real Southern hospitality! Statehouse Convention Center website: http://www.littlerockmeetings.com/conv-centers/Statehouse/ Hotel Reservations: The IMG conference rate at the Peabody is $130/night for double or king accommodations with double occupancy. There are also some club-level rooms blocked off at the rate of $160/night. ("Club level" includes continental breakfast, hot hors d'oeuvres, evening cordials and petit fours, complete honor bar, complimentary use of the athletic club, valet parking, private concierge, express check out, and VIP nightly turndown services.) These rates are good from April 30 to May 6, 2007. Be sure to mention that you are attending the International Master Gardener Conference May 2 –5, 2007, to receive the special rate.
