2013 Conference Report: San Luis Obispo, California

The 67th annual California Geographical Society Conference was held in San Luis Obispo from April 26th through the 28th, with more than 340 geographers from the academic, government, private, and nonprofit sectors making the trek to the wonderful central coast of California. The event was hosted by the geographers in the Social Sciences Department at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly). Special thanks are extended to the student volunteers from Cal Poly who worked extremely hard to make the conference a success, particularly Hannah Panno, who coordinated the volunteers and should be considered a conference co-organizer. Cal Poly Geography faculty who lent a helping hand include James Keese, Greg Bohr, William Preston, and myself. Of course we cannot forget to thank our former CGS President, Steve Graves, for his Herculean efforts. While we will miss his stewardship of the society, it has been left in great hands with James Wanket. Jim, along with the other board members, also put forth great effort at the conference and are deserving of praise.
