63rd GWA Annual Symposium

August 26 - 29, 2011, Indianapolis,, IN

Come to Indy
This year’s symposium will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, the proclaimed “Crossroads of America”.  You’ll wonder how Indy became known for sports instead of the amazing food and events that take place.  With the walkable downtown area, explore the culinary options from barbeque to fine dining.  Indianapolis is reinventing the bicycle and pedestrian experience with the Indianapolis Cultural Trail.  Explore the art of Indianapolis through the Museum of Art that includes 100 acres displaying The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park, Monument Circle and Indiana War Memorial Plaza. The Circle centers the city and furnishes its “Circle City” calling card. The 24-acre plaza of Indy gives the distinction of devoting more acreage to honoring veterans than any other city. Courtesy of the Indianapolis Visitors Bureau.
