It’s coming close to the time for the National World War I Museum and Memorial’s annual symposium! Scheduled for November 1-2, it promises to be another excellent program. This year’s topic: 1919: Peace?

Please note that the early bird deadline for registration is one week from today, September 27th. This event either sells out or comes very close to selling out, so now is the time to register. If you’ve been to the symposia before, you know this is well worth every penny of the registration fee. If you haven’t been to one before, it’s time you found out what this quality event is about.
