Sea Grant Week 2012
The Hotel Alyeska
Girdwood, Alaska
Monday–Friday, September 17–21, 2012
A rewarding and productive life is built around experiences with others. Sea Grant Week 2012 promises to provide an invaluable opportunity for all members of the Sea Grant community to share experiences and learn from each other in our common pursuit to help citizens better understand, conserve, and use America's coastal resources.
The venue
The Hotel Alyeska is located in Girdwood, Alaska, approximately 40 miles south of Anchorage off the picturesque Seward Highway, a modern two-lane (with passing lanes) highway that skirts beautiful Turnagain Arm at the base of coastal mountains.
Getting here
See our Travel Information page for information on flying into Anchorage, sample airfares, and options for getting to Alyeska Resort.
Before you book
We've arranged several before- and after-conference excursions and provided many other “on-your-own” ideas to experience a bit of Alaska before and/or after our meeting. As you make your travel plans, please check out the many easy-to-do options we've suggested.
Missing out?
If you are unable to attend this year's meeting, follow the Sea Grant Week 2012 Blog, which we'll offer closer to meeting time. The 2010 blog contained a variety of information—copies of presentations, notes, information about field trips and more—gathered from the week's events. We hope another cadre of bloggers will do the same for the 2012 meeting. Thanks to Pat Kight of Oregon Sea Grant for initiating the blog in 2010 and helping us set it up for 2012.
