Symposium Schedule  

Green is the Theme
This year's symposium theme is environmental responsibility and photography as a tool for social change.

Everything is Within a Half Hour Drive
From the shores of Lake Erie to the shores of Chautauqua Lake, almost everything in Chautauqua County is within a half hour drive.

Come Early, Stay Later
Check out the 2009 Mayville Bluegrass Festival the weekend before the symposium and consider visiting Chautauqua Institution for its opening week beginning the Sunday after. Be sure to link to the Visitor's Bureau site to discover the many other recreational opportunites in Chautauqua County, the green and lovely natural vacationland.
