Symposium participants have a variety of program options to choose from.

Pre-tours
Participants who arrive early may choose to participate in a pre-tour that takes place before the symposium begins. The pre-tours visit local museums, gardens, and collections. (Pre-tours cost extra and are not included in the symposium fee.)
