Plone Symposium: Important Locations

The event takes place at The Pennsylvania State University, which is located in the middle of Pennsylvania, USA. The university itself is snuggled closely to downtown State College, also known as University Park.

The local airport is, called the University Park Airport, is located a few miles outside of the downtown area. The local taxi services around the area will gladly pick you up from the airport if you call ahead. And they sometimes sit outside the airport, but there is no guarantee one will be waiting for someone without an appointment.

The symposium will take place at the Nittany Lion Inn. The inn is located at at the western edge of the the Pennsylvania State University. It is about a 5-10min walk from downtown State College and the WebLion Office.

Here is what folks are saying about Plone Symposium East

"Plone Symposium East combines the best of both technical expertise, but also a rare close up contact with those on the front-line using and supporting the software within both commercial and academic sectors. A fantastically diverse group of attendees you will come away with your head buzzing with new ideas and solutions to any problems you come with."

"WebLion's Plone Symposium East has become an event we wouldn't miss each year. It brings together people to collaborate, share and teach in an intimate environment. I've always found that the community was one of the greatest things about Plone and this is a outstanding opportunity to join in the fun."

"PSE is always the event I look forward to attending each year. A surprisingly wide range of educational institutions from around the world send inspired and inspiring people to share with and learn from their peers how to make the most of Plone. Whether it's during the five-minute lightning talks, the 45-minute presentations, the keynote, the birds of a feather sessions, or just the mingling at meals, PSE is a nonstop learning process for me, a series of insights and things-to-try that fill up my to-do list for months to come. I also look forward to the mind expanding training opportunities and the high intensity yet welcoming sprints that allow us to work collaboratively and give back to the Plone community."
