ARNA 2018
June 28-30, 2018
San Diego, CA

We warmly invite you to sunny San Diego for the conference. It will be held on campus at the University of California San Diego. Our lovely campus is a short (but precipitous!) walk to the beach on the west, and framed by mountains to the east.

We highly recommend attendees to stay on campus to avoid local traffic and search for parking spots in the designated zones.

More information, including conference submissions and travel info, will be posted on the ARNA website.
