Agenda highlights
GET A ROOM
The Double Tree by Hilton Hotel, 200 McDonald Dr., Lawrence, KS, serves as KPhA's conference headquarters.
KPhA's reservation window for hotel rooms has closed. You may call the Double Tree by Hilton at 785.841.7077 to see if there are any rooms left, but we can't guarantee you'll be able to receive the KPhA rate. And, with the football game that weekend, finding a hotel room in Lawrence may be difficult.
