Local attractions
​
Cleveland has a ton of fun things to do in the summer!

Museums
The convention center is within walking distance of Lake Erie, with a few museums along the shore (including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center (where we'll be holding the Super Social banquet).  It's also an easy bus ride to a cluster of other museums - including the recently updated (and very cool) Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Music
Cleveland is home to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and during the summer has the Cleveland Metroparks summer concert series.  The 47th Annual Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland is happening just after the conference (June 25-27, 2026) if you're a Jazz fan.  Check out the visit Cleveland events site for more information about other event offerings around the time of the conference.

Nature
If you've got access to a car, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a half-hour drive south of the convention center, with 33,000 acres of national park to explore for free.  Gorgeous hiking trails, rock formations, waterfalls, bike trails, a scenic train ride (extra cost) and a covered bridge - along with some really interesting history.  Alternatively head a half-hour east to take a canopy walk at the Holden Arboretum.

Don't have a car?  Take a city bus to the newly updated Cleveland Museum of Natural History which has some stunning indoor displays as well as a super cute outdoor area of local flora and fauna (including coyotes, raccoons, fox, porcupines); and/or the nearby Cleveland Botanical Garden - both are in the cluster of museums in the University Circle area of Cleveland.  Or take the trolley to Edgewater Park/Beach (18 minutes away) to walk along the shoreline, take a swim, and enjoy the warm summer sand.
