The 2008 HTA Conference will be held October 4, 2008, at the Borough of Manhattan Community College of the City University of New York. This will be the 32nd anniversary HTA Conference.

The annual HTA Conference will be moved from the fall of the year to the spring beginning Spring 2009. The first conference on this new schedule will be held at the University of Virginia on a date to be announced.
