2022 Conference Venue
August 7-9, 2022 | San Marcos, Texas
For our 2022 Conference, we return to the beautiful campus of Texas State University in San Marcos, situated on the banks of the San Marcos River. In addition to its Agriculture Department, which offers graduate and undergraduate degrees, the school is home to a student-run sustainable farm, a vast network of trails, and the Meadows Center for Water and Environment.
The majority of our Conference programs are on the 3rd floor of the LBJ Student Center (LBJSC). If using GPS, please navigate to the "Matthews St. Garage" on Student Center Dr. for parking.
Signs will be posted to help guide attendees from the parking garage to the LBJSC.
Signs will be inside the front doors to help direct you to registration, the Exhibit Hall, refreshments, and conference session rooms.
HOTEL INFORMATION
There are numerous lodging options in San Marcos, but since our event begins during the University's graduation weekend, we've blocked rooms at the two hotels listed below to ensure availability. Please know that hotel prices have increased dramatically in the past few months. As things may change in the weeks leading up to the Conference, you may have luck finding lower prices by calling around or by checking listings on the Visit San Marcos website.
Reservations for these rates at these two hotels must be made before Wednesday, July 13, 2022.
Cancellations must be received 48 hours prior to arrival in order to avoid paying 1st Night Room and Tax.
