The 2007 World Conference on Natural Resource Modeling will take place on Cape Cod in Massachusetts in the United States.

THE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM IS NOW POSTED!

The conference begins with an evening reception on Tuesday, June 19th and will close in the late afternoon of Friday, June 22nd.

Location: Craigville is a village on Cape Cod, MA that is located on a bluff overlooking Nantucket Sound and Craigville Beach. The Craigville Conference Center is in the midst of the small private village of Craigville with its unique Cape Cod cottages, fresh water ponds, wooded areas, and private beach on Nantucket Sound in the Atlantic Ocean. The quiet and undisturbed beauty make it a perfect setting for a friendly gathering such as ours. Five congenial and rustic guest houses will accomodate us (in single and double rooms, many with private baths, some with ocean, marsh and pond views) within easy walking distance to the ocean. Hearty meals (including a traditional lobster banquet) will be served in a dining room overlooking the Red Lily Pond, which is the home of abundant wildlife. On-site lodging is recommended, but nearby hotels with full amenities are available. Day visitors can purchase meal passes. There are some photos of the conference center here.
