What's this about a Colloquium being held at an Annual Gathering? Aren't they separate events?

Yes, they have been — until now. The Mensa Foundation is exploring ways to make Colloquium more accessible to more members, and this prototype event is experimenting with making Colloquium a one-day event held just before the Annual Gathering opens. This Colloquium is using the same hotels as the AG so attendees can take advantage of special room rates and all the other the benefits of attending an AG. Please note, however, that the registration fees are completely separate. You can register for Colloquium while you register for the AG, but it is an additional, unrelated fee. The AG Web site has much more information about Reno, how to get around there and what to do while you're there, as well as all the information about the Annual Gathering.
