The Bristlecone Convention Center is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Ely with close proximity (some within walking distance) to multiple hotels, restaurants, stores and casinos.
The facility features a large auditorium and multiple meeting rooms for breakout sessions.

Located between Ely and Las Vegas, Cathedral Gorge State Park features dramatic cave-like slot canyons and cathedral spires that have eroded over millions of years.
Troglodyte Playing Cards
We have no idea what these will look like yet, but we couldn't think of hosting NCKMS in Nevada without offering some themed-out playing cards. There's a good chance the card backs will feature a cave animal of the year, but we still have some time to figure it out.
Advance registration for the 2025 symposium is expected to open in mid-2024. We will send an email to past attendees when that system comes online.
