We are pleased to offer a variety of options to experience the 2014 Conference.

Due to the massive scope of this year’s International Conference on WWII and incredible demand — by visitors and presenters alike — the Museum has created a special one-day symposium to discuss 1944’s most thrilling operation: D-Day in Normandy. For a limited audience, eight top scholars will delve into D-Day strategy and planning, the airborne assault, and the beach landings. A roundtable discussion will feature all of the day’s speakers to close the day’s events, wrapping up just in time for the opening reception of the general conference. Learn more and purchase Symposium and Conference tickets together.
