The optional closing party will be held at Creole Queen, an authentic Mississippi River paddlewheeler. Entrance to the closing party includes two drink tickets and a menu of heavy appetizers. All festivities will take place on the docked paddlewheeler, which includes three levels. As in years past, a separate ticket is required for ALL attendees EXCEPT for freed/exonerated people and their conference-registered family members, who do not need to purchase a separate ticket.
