We are thrilled to be hosting the Regional Summit, and hope you will join us for a fun-filled and informative weekend. We are still finalizing the details of all the activities, but a preliminary agenda is given below. Additional information regarding the Summit can be found at the International Golden Key website and in our latest newsletter. This page will be updated as we finalize the details of the summit, so please check back often. For immediate assistance, please contact one of our officers.
The designated lodging site is the Holiday Inn, directly across the street from the KSU campus. Presentations and activities will mostly happen at the Holiday Inn and the KSU Student Union. These two buildings are less than one block apart, and it is an easy walk between the two. Maps will be provided as part of the registration packet, which will be distributed upon arrival at the Holiday Inn.
Registration for the summit is conducted online by Golden Key International. This is “Event 16”, and the forms can be found at http://www.goldenkey.org/GK/GKSite/Detail.aspx?EventID=16.
In addition to registering for the summit, you will also need to reserve a room at the hotel. To receive a discounted rate, tell them you are attending the Golden Key Regional Summit.
