New Mexico, “the Land of Enchantment,” with its turquoise skies and diverse, rugged Southwestern landscapes, reflects southwestern charm through its unique blend of culture and heritage. New Mexico is blessed with low humidity and skies free of smoke and fog, making this state one of the healthiest in the United States. The sun shines an average of 300 days a year, and the elevations makes for warm, sunny days and cool, brisk nights.

 

The conference will also coincide with the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, one of the world’s largest hot air balloon festivals.
