The 50th Historic Naval Ships Association (HNSA) Conference, “The Sky’s the Limit,” will be on board the USS LEXINGTON in Corpus Christi, TX, from 20-23 September. The format will follow last year’s very successful conference on the USS IOWA in San Pedro, CA, whereby each of the three days will see two, 3-hour symposium-style sessions with convenient breaks. This format provides the opportunity for attendees to explore more fully topics crucial for the success of our ship-museums. Similarly, experts from both inside and outside the HNSA fleet community will make presentations.

See the HNSA-50th-Confreence-Call-for-Papers for more information. Deadline for proposals is 31 July.
