PEER CONNECTIONSIndianapolis — Cultural & Cosmopolitan
Indianapolis is more than just a mecca for Indy 500 racing fans. Learn more about this vibrant city in our Hotel & Travel Center. As The Washington Post notes, the city has “10 world-class sports venues [but] that is just a fraction of its cultural institution tally: 14 museums, 21 galleries & 25 performing arts centers & theaters.”

And our conference will be just minutes away from these attractions at the beautiful downtown Hyatt Regency Hotel! We have reserved a block of rooms at a special rate for our conference attendees. For all the details on these rates—or to make room reservations online—visit our Hotel & Travel Center.

Growing Lineup of Renowned Speakers
DBSA and the chapters involved in the 2009 Conference Committee are in the process of selecting and/or finalizing our conference presenters…and we hope to have exciting news for you shortly! Currently confirmed are the following leading experts & advocates:

* Darby Penney (community integration advocate, author)
* David Granirer (stand-up comic, counselor, author)
* Victoria Maxwell (actress, playwright, educator, consultant)
