This year's theme is "It's Not Your Parents' Prohibition!" Below is the basic information to make your discounted room reservation. Second, please forward any speaker or panel topic suggestions for this year's conference to '[email protected]'. The NORML conference planning committee is seeking activists' and stakeholders' input on potential speakers and topics to help round out the current schedule. This year's conference program is shaping up similar to last year's format in Los Angeles: Ten or so plenary sessions, two or three featured speakers, three breakout sessions and an entire day focusing on medical marijuana and ever-evolving medical marijuana industry (Sunday, October 19). Please make your room reservations and travel arrangements ASAP to assure that you're in attendance at America's most popular pro-cannabis reform conference.
