Conference on Energy & Accountability

Dates: 2002-11-09 - 2002-11-10 9.9 (2 decades 1 year ago)

Where: College Park, MD, United States Venue: Holiday Inn College Park

Come hear some of the heart-rending stories, all of which are off-the-record (no media recording). It is a two-day event on Veteran's Day weekend, November 9 & 10, 2002 so that you can fly or drive back on Monday, which is a holiday. Reagan National Airport in DC allows direct metro subway access to the Greenbelt metro stop and the Holiday Inn College Park hotel has a free shuttle service. Otherwise, BWI airport or Dulles airport is also available with about a half-hour drive. See our ad in Discover magazine.
