A final decision will be required at that time, so a formal offer from any potential host institution will have to be already in hand. If you are interested in hosting the conference at your institution, or if you have other suggestions, you can contact berks@umn.edu. Please note that it is not possible any longer to host this conference at a small college in a small town. It has grown large enough that it requires either a lot of dorm rooms or a lot of hotel rooms, and preferably both. In addition to the possibilities Historiann mentions, there was also some suggestion that the next Berks be held outside the US, perhaps in a North American country beginning with "C".
