Meet Me in St. Louis 


 

Registration is still available!

 

The National Braille Association is heading to St. Louis, Missouri for our
2016 professional development conference, and we hope you are too!.  Known
as the Gateway to the West, the Gateway Arch greets visitors to this
cultural and historic city! St. Louis boasts of historic and cultural
attractions, many of which are free. Get a glimpse of where Lewis and Clark
set out on their historic expedition by visiting the Lewis & Clark Boat
House and Nature Center, or the Lewis & Clark monument on the Missouri
River. Interact with butterflies at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House.
Roam the Missouri Botanical Garden, a National Historic Landmark with 79
acres of scenic landscaping and elegant structures. Journey to the top of
the Gateway Arch, our nation’s tallest man-made monument at 630 feet. Relax
on a Riverboat cruise; or immerse yourself in a little arts and culture. If
you are feeling adventuresome, there is a wealth of attractions to see and
experience.

 

Our host hotel is the St. Louis Union Station, once the largest and busiest
passenger rail terminal in the world. Today, this 120-year-old National
Historic Landmark of unmatched beauty and elegance is home to the St. Louis
Union Station Hotel – a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.  

 

Once again, we are looking forward to 30 exciting workshops.  With the
Unified English Braille Code as our focus, there is a lot to learn! Topics
will include but are not limited to UEB, textbook and Nemeth format, music,
computer-assisted transcription and tactile graphics.  Just to pique your
interest here are a few of the sessions being developed just for you:

*         Mathematics:  Nemeth in UEB
