2013 Annual Conference — October 6-9Venue and Travel
Buffalo, NY is in the midst of culture and nightlife renaissance. And do we need to mention the Buffalo Bills, the Buffalo Sabres and the wings? You know, THE wings.
Long the home of such prestigious cultural landmarks such as the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Louis Comfort Tiffany-designed Shea’s Performing Arts Center, Buffalo also boasts a booming music scene (Ani DiFranco! moe.! The Goo Goo Dolls!), bustling neighborhoods such as Allentown and the Elmwood Village (clubs! restaurants! Last call at 4 a.m.!), and the newly-renovated Buffalo Waterfront district. In addition, the "Queen City" is located on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River in Western New York state, and hosts a thriving higher education community.
