From the official web site of the 2011
qep'a':
The eighteenth annual meeting of the Klingon Language Institute (aka qep'a' wa'maH chorghDIch) will run from Sunday morning on August 14th through late evening Tuesday, August 16th.
To celebrate our conference reaching legal age, we'll be gathering in Reno, NV, the "biggest little city in the world," the very place where the 2011 World Science Fiction Convention will be happening the day after the qep'a' comes to a close.
See
