Guides to Harrisburg and Central Pennsylvania
Members of the local planning committee have prepared invaluable guides to dining and points of interest in the area. Many thanks to the contributors who found time to add their suggestions!

Conference Hotel
In-person sessions took place at the Hilton Harrisburg, 1 North 2nd St, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Whenever you intend to stay at the conference hotel, please reserve a room in the conference block by using the link to the reservation system that we provide. This helps both you and AFS. If you have any trouble with your reservation, we will have more leverage to help you if you reserve within our block. Also, placing your reservation this way satisfies our contract with the hotel, helping us to avoid potentially costly fees if our block is not filled.
The special conference rate for single and double rooms in the Hilton Harrisburg was $169.
