The congress will be held at the St. Louis Union Station Hotel, which has many activities available for all ages and is a great opportunity to bring your family to explore St. Louis without ever leaving the hotel. The 11,150-square-meter aquarium offers educational opportunities to learn about Missouri's local freshwater rivers and aquatic animals, a 950-cubic-meter marine habitat with sharks of all shapes and sizes, and mysterious deep-sea creatures such as octopi and jelly fish. Take a ride on the St. Louis Wheel, a 60-meter-high observation wheel that is fully enclosed and boasts views of the St. Louis skyline. Families may also enjoy the Union Station Carousel, Mini Golf, a Mirror Maze, and a Ropes Course all in the same building as the conference hotel.

Mardi Gras will also be in full swing in Saint Louis. Several parades will be occurring during the congress, including:
- 19–20 February: Taste of Soulard
- 20 February: Purina Pet Parade
- 20 February: Tito's Vodka Wiener Dog Derby—fan favorite
- 25 February: Mayor's Mardi Gras Ball
We look forward to seeing you in February—virtually or in person.
