Location

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we’ll gather on October 9-11, 2025 in York, Pennsylvania—a city that hosted the Continental Congress during the British occupation of Philadelphia. The conference will take in downtown York, just three blocks from the colonial district that served briefly as the fledgling nation’s capital.

Our sessions will be held at the the recently restored Yorktowne Hotel. Considered the “Cornerstone of York” since 1925, the grand hotel in York, PA borrows from its rich history and blends it with the contemporary. World leaders including Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Thatcher have stayed at the Yorktowne, as have world-famous artists like Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. The hotel, a part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, pays homage to this storied history by featuring unique artwork courtesy of locally commissioned artists.

More details about hotel reservations and conference registrations will go live in summer 2025, around the same time the preliminary program.
