ATEG-2000 will be held at North Hennepin Community College, Brooklyn Park, MN, on July 14th and 15th. There will be a pre-conference minicourse on the 12th and 13th.
Brooklyn Park is a NW suburb of Minneapolis.
Even though many of the details have not been worked out, you may vist North Hennepin's web site (<www.nh.cc.mn.us> as well as the web site of the conference hotel <http://www.northwestinn.com/>.
You'll notice I didn't mention the Mall of America or visiting the lakes of Minneapolis.
I hope everything works out so you can visit Brookly Park next summer.
