ON-CAMPUS LOCATION: Kent State University Stark
Nestled on 200 beautiful acres, yet only minutes from the hustle and bustle of The Strip and Westfield Belden Village Mall, Kent State University at Stark provides a quiet, serene and picturesque setting for students and the community to enjoy. With rolling hills, a pond, walking trail, and a Campus Center and Food Emporium, it is located in Jackson Township, just five minutes from the Akron-Canton Airport and easily accessible from Interstate-77. Note: some events will be held at the Courtyard Marriott hotel (see below).
Directions & Campus Map

ONLINE LOCATION: TBA
For those suffering from the weak economy, we will still be providing a conference experience online (at a cheaper rate). The Cloud Conference part is being hosted fully online by MEMO and members of the KSU Trumbull Campus (October 15 to November 15, 2012). Individuals will post papers (PDFs), videos (YouTube), sound recordings, blogs, or other media online; these will be either hosted directly within the password-protected site or linked to outside the site (as in the case for YouTube video presentations, which can also be further password protected).  Anyone registered for the Brick-n-Mortar conference will have access to this part of the conference as well and be able to comment/discuss presentations in text format online.  A web address and password will be provided soon!
NOTE: This online location will be available only to those individuals registered for the conference. All online presentations (PDF papers, or video, or other media) will be located in a password-protected area online. These sessions will be made available for one month (October 15 - November 15) to all conference participants (online and at the actual on-land conference). There will be a text-based forum available for each session.
