We will be attending the meeting as an exhibitor. Are we invited to go to the museum? Thank you.
Hi Glenda,
The site says it’s open to registered attendees, but that space is limited. To get a confirmed answer, you’d have to get in touch with someone at the ADA that’s organizing the event.
Thank you!
