The NASS Conference comes early this year. Register now for the 28th annual NASS Conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan June 8-11, 2023
KensingtonHotel, Ann Arbor Michigan |
Ann Arbor is best known as the home of the sprawling University of Michigan with its architecture, quadrangles, and bustling student life. Yet, it also boasts of great art, science, and archeological museums, picturesque gardens, and fantastic shopping. And don't forget that The Henry Ford Museum and his Greenfield Village are just a half-hour away.
The conference starts Thursday afternoon (4:3pm - 6:30pm) June 8, with an opening reception, introductions, and door prizes. Friday, we will tour local sundials via motor coach. Besides seven sundials, and the Matthaei Botanical Gardens, we will visit the Detroit Observatory. It houses a historic transit telescope that played a pivotal role in the conversion to standard time, and the ‘death’ of sundials everywhere. Saturday will be filled with a full slate of presentations. The day will conclude with the conference dinner. We will conclude Sunday (around 1:00pm) with more speakers and the NASS annual general meeting. Please plan to stay for the entire agenda. We may need to follow COVID protocols. Please be prepared to wear a mask.
