On arrival at Harrisburg, look for the famous 3MI cooling towers!
And while in Carlisle, eat at the Hamilton Restaurant, around the corner from the hotel you’ll likely be staying at. Try the scrapple, sure, but the menus is really good!
This is reposted from an email received by Tim Wilkie, a Great Guy who is organizing the Connections-USA conference.
I’ve posted many times on this blog about how interesting and valuable these conferences are, at least to me. You should consider attending, if you have any interest in how government (primarily the military, but the lessons are often widely applicable) uses wargaming.

Connections 2019 will be hosted by the U.S. Army War College at the Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, PA, August 13-16.
Connections is an interdisciplinary* wargaming conference that has been held annually since 1993, with the mission of advancing and preserving the art, science, and application of wargaming. Connections participants come from all elements of the wargaming discipline, and include those in the military, government, academic, private sector, and commercial hobbyist fields. By providing a forum for practitioners to share insights and best practices, Connections works to improve gaming as a tool for research, analysis, education, and policy.
Presentations on any aspect of professional wargaming are welcome. The 2019 conference theme is Futures of Wargaming, and with that in mind, presentations on wargaming future events, advances in wargaming techniques, wargaming to train future leaders, and related topics are especially encouraged.
Please submit your proposal via the Google Form at the following link (which contains additional information):

It is by no means necessary to have attended a previous Connections conference to participate as a speaker. More information about past Connections events and current updates on the status of planning for Connections 2019 can be found at the conference website:
