 Conference Planner: Jeremy Elliott\n\nThe deadline to submit a conferenc
 e proposal has passed.\n\n \n\nSanta Fe, the capital of New Mexico and 
 the oldest U.S. state capital, is renowned for its distinctive Pueblo-st
 yle adobe architecture, rich Indigenous and Spanish heritage, and status
  as a major hub for Southwest art. Known as "The City Different," it fea
 tures over 250 art galleries on Canyon Road, the Meow Wolf immersive art
  experience, and New Mexican green chile cuisine.\n\n \n\nThe historic 
 Santa Fe Plaza, lined with adobe Talavera pottery shops, art galleries, 
 Mexican restaurants, and the stunning Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis 
 of Assisi (the oldest church in the United States), attracts roughly 1.5
  million tourists each year. The heart of the city for nearly 400 years,
  the plaza is the perfect place to explore one of the state’s most rem
 arkable cities.\n\n \n\nTrip Adviser says, “Surrounded by city landma
 rks, including art and history museums, the Santa Fe Plaza is the heart 
 and soul of the capital city. Sit back on one of the square’s benches 
 to people-watch and take in the small-town feel. Then, set out to explor
 e the countless art galleries, shops, and flea markets in the area. Try 
 the local street food from the food carts, or if you’re in the mood to
  splurge, check out the dozen or so high-end restaurants. You can also s
 ign up for a walking tour to learn more about the city’s rich history.
 ”\n\n \n\nOur conference hotel, the Eldorado Hotel and Spa, is ideall
 y situated to make the most of Santa Fe’s attractions. The Georgia O'K
 eeffe Museum, the largest collection of one of the 20th century's most i
 nfluential artists, whose greatest work was inspired by New Mexico, is l
 iterally across the street from the conference hotel, and the Santa Fe P
 laza is less than 4 blocks away (0.2 miles).\n\n \n\nBOOK YOUR HOTEL RO
