Saturday June 7, 2014 – Tourism around Lyons
Please note the location is LYON, not Lyons.
Thanks, David. I would have written Lyon and did so in the first draft, but I decided to use the spelling that the organizers use — see this poster announcing the event.

The event website says “Lyon.” It’s a city I know well. Unfortunately it was the victim of the Brits renaming most cities in Europe! Salud!
Hi, Mike. Thank for this.
What would you say is the best comparable high level conference in North America?
