Because there is no dedicated field trip day this year, there will be no official conference field trips. However, San Diego and its surroundings offer plenty of exciting destinations for small group outings before or after the conference. During registration, you will have a chance to sign up for a mailing list to facilitate coordinating such excursions (see “Social Connections”). If you decide later (after you register), you can email IUSSI2022@gmail.com to be added to the mailing list.
