A welcome reception/dinner, poster session refreshments, optional dinner and end of conference (poetry slam) party are planned.

Loews guest rooms and the surrounding areas have undergone an expansive transformation that was completed November 2024! The project encompassed the modernization of all guest rooms and suites along with their accompanying bathrooms and connecting corridors. Drawing inspiration from the Sonoran Desert, warm earth tones and sleek furnishings unveil a sophisticated fusion of contemporary design and thoughtfully curated spaces. The Lobby and Cascade Dining were enhanced this past June by the same designers of the guest rooms. The lounge area creates a more comfortable and inviting space for all guests with a modern southwest flair. Free time for swimming, hiking, tennis, spa, gym, stargazing and other resort activities.  Conference Registrants must use the link for our room block rates:
