From Convention Chair Sune Frederiksen: 
It is a pleasure for me to play the role of convention chair once again for the Rebild National Park Society’s annual meeting. This time, it will take place in Greater Cincinnati, which has a foot both in Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky. 

Cincinnati is a tremendous city with much to offer, and we’ll take participants on an unforgettable tour.

Hotel information: We have contracted with the attractive Embassy Suites on the River, which has a fantastic view of the Cincinnati skyline, the Ohio River, and the sports stadiums. The hotel offers a significant and plentiful breakfast and late afternoon happy hour, which are included in the price. The room price per night is $156 - $176 + tax. Includes breakfast and happy hour. Parking will be discounted by 50%. The hotel is located in Covington and is only 25 min from the airport. Click here for the hotel website. 

Arrival to Cincinnati: The airport is called Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati International Airport (CVG) and is a major hop. Arrivals from all major airports in the US and from London, UK. For many of you, it may be tempting to go on a lovely road trip. Chicago is only four hours away, Atlanta seven, Detroit three, Louisville two, and San Diego three days.

Feel free to contact Sune Frederiksen at 859-248-0690 for clarifications.
