WICSEC 2009 Little Rock, Arkansas
September 13-17, 2009

The 26^th Annual WICSEC Training Conference will be held in Little Rock, Arkansas, September 13-17, 2009. The Little Rock metropolitan area boasts historic landmarks, an energetic downtown entertainment district, restaurants, nightspots and specialty shopping. Outdoor enthusiasts will love Little Rock's public parks, zoo, numerous fishing spots, ball fields, picnic areas, and biking and walking trails, including the Big Dam Bridge, the world's longest pedestrian bridge.

During your stay, you can visit numerous museums spanning everything from Presidential, Arkansas history, and black history, to science and the role of the military in Arkansas. The archival and museum holdings at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center

(pictured below) are the largest within the US Presidential Library system.

Many artifacts have been found that suggest Native Americans inhabited Central Arkansas thousands of years before European settlers arrived. These original inhabitants may have included the Folsom people, Bluff Dwellers, Mound Builders, Caddo, Quapaw, Osage, Choctaw and Cherokee. Arkansas was first explored by Europeans in 1541 when Hernando de Soto of Spain traveled through the area. Located near the geographic center of Arkansas, Little Rock derives its name from a small rock formation on the south bank of the Arkansas River called la Petite Roche ("the little rock"). The "little rock" was used by early river traffic as a landmark and became a well-known river crossing.
