The 64th annual Association for University Business and Economic Research (AUBER) conference will be held in Charleston, West Virginia, October 16-19, 2010 and is being hosted by the West Virginia University Bureau of Business and Economic Research.

The event will be held at the Charleston Embassy Suites Hotel, where a block of suites has been reserved at rate of $139.00 single, $149.00/double, $159.00 triple, $169.00 quad. To reserve a suite at this rate, please make your reservation by September 15, 2010 by calling 1-800-EMBASSY or go online to embassysuitescharlestonwv.com. Use the AUB code when making reservations to receive the discounted rate. If booking online, enter the 3-letter code in the group/convention code space.

The conference coincides with the peak of the fall foliage in the Mountain State. On October 16 the Annual New River Gorge Bridge Day officialbridgeday.com will be held, allowing AUBERites to observe or engage in BASE jumping along with bridge rappel and high line. For those less adventurous the 10th Annual West Virginia Book Festival wvbookfestival.org will be held down the street from the Embassy Suites Hotel. This event on October 16 and 17 features Nicholas Sparks (eight time #1 New York Times bestseller author) and Dr. James Robertson (Civil War author known for his massive biography of Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson). Of course if you want to venture further afield, come earlier or stay later at a world class resort, The Greenbrier, which has its new Tavern Casino open.

The traditional AUBER Monday afternoon/evening event features a motor coach ride from Charleston to the New River Gorge. While most participants will enjoy a low adventure experience, a limited number of high adventure options are open to early registrants (until space is filled). The options include a Canopy Zip Line and White Water Rafting Tour newrivergorgecanopytour.com. Following the outdoor activities the motor coach will journey to Tamarack tamarackwv.com, which features the best of West Virginia artisans and where attendees will be treated to a reception, dinner and entertainment before returning to Morgantown.

Early registration prior to October 4, 2010 is $395 (members), $475 (non members includes 1 year AUBER membership) and significant others ($195). Additional registration is required for the high adventure upgrade. For more information contact bebureau@mail.wvu.edu.
