Sarasota area colleagues have graciously provided free passes to two attractions!
On Saturday conference attendees will have the option to tour the Ringling Museum’s grounds, as well as the Museum of Art, Ca d’Zan, Circus Museum, and historic Asolo Theatre.
Mote Marine Laboratory has also extended free admission to our conference attendees. This is your chance to touch stingrays, get a glimpse of a gentle sea-cow, meet Hang Tough (the aquarium’s blind sea turtle), watch sharks swim, and see majestic dolphins up close!
