Hyatt Regency O’Hare, Chicago
Feb 26--March 1, 2010
Thursday Feb 25th (SWEET, you're here early...come hang out with us!)
seriously, nothing is technically scheduled and we're usually still setting up, but something fun always happens with the hundreds of youth workers who randomly show up early. "SYMC Eve" Thursday nights have started to feel like a crazy family reunion amidst the behind-the-scenes "unplugged" chaos of getting ready...so if that doesn't scare you (if you're in youth ministry we're guessing not) we'll be here. c'mon down.
