Ohio State University in Columbus. See registration for more details.
Dennis, where are you providing information on all hotel information? Also, I would like to pay for a couple of people using a purchase order. How can we do that. It is not an option during registration?
thanks

Good questions, Pamela. We thought we’d have the hotel information confirmed today, but it looks like it will take another day. If you email use at conference@harmreductionohio.org, we’ll work out your p.o. and invoice needs for multiple registrations. We tried to make that possible in the registration form, but the software did not allow it. Thanks!
