IGLTA Symposium
Santa Fe to Host IGLTA Symposium
Join us September 16-19 for the IGLTA Symposium in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Your time will be spent exploring what this 400-year-old town has to offer gay travelers and discovering why Santa Fe is consistently ranked one of the most popular travel destinations in North America. It has the third-largest art market in the U.S., the oldest and highest (7,000 feet) state capitol and its own savory regional cuisine, all set at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Romance and sophisticated relaxation are in the air. There's more to do than any one trip can hold but you have to start somewhere. We hope to see you in Santa Fe this September.
