Educational Symposium
We have an awesome line-up of educational symposiums at Fall Forum 2017. Our Symposium topics are diverse and interesting and our speakers are extremely knowledgeable in their field of expertise. From Andrea Schepmann, Executive Director of the Krohn Conservatory, a nationally-recognized showcase of more than 3,500 plant species from all over the world, to Deb Zureick who will tell us about her experiences as Botanical Garden Manager of the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. Rated by peer zoological parks as one of the best zoos in the nation, the Cincinnati Zoo continues to set the standard for conservation, education and preservation of wild animals and wild spaces. Additional Symposium details will be rendering in our next Fall Forum 2017 newsletter.
Bulb Auction & Exchange
Fall Forum 2017 does include an ADS Board meeting…but after our meeting the cash bar will be open and we will have the opportunity to let-off some steam and enjoy ourselves. The fun begins with the ADS Bulb Auction and our evening will wind down with a lively Bulb Exchange. Please refer to our September 21 Fall Forum newsletter for more details about the Bulb Auction and Exchange.
The 2017 Fall Forum weekend is designed to maximize the education and entertainment of members and minimize the cost to be inclusive. We hope the Fall Forum can be a way for ADS to stay better connected with its members throughout the year.
We hope to see you in Cincinnati during the Fall of 2017!
