America's Truth Forum is the group that Georgetown University denied facilities to due to its "controversial" nature (that's not stopping them from hosting the anti-Israel, anti-American PSM, of course). Having found a new location, the group is going ahead with their conference in Washington, D.C. on April 29th entitled: The Underlying Roots Of Terrorism: The Radical Islamist Threat to World Peace and National Security. The page with details is here. Guests will include: Andrew Bostom, Brigitte Gabriel, David Horowitz, Joe Kaufman, Harvey Kushner, Laura Mansfield, Daniel Pipes, Whalid Shoebat, Robert Spencer and Paul Williams.
There is an interview with the president of America's Truth Forum, Jeffrey Epstein, here, at Frontpage today.
Edit: A commenter points out that, at least officially, it was the Marriott, not Georgetown that refused accomodations to ATF. See the link in this post for details.

As I noted in a previous post on your site, Georgetown University did not cancel this event. The event was canceled by Marriott International, Inc. Please see the following article published at the time:
Marriott Rejects Terror Summit
The Hoya, December 6, 2005
"We reserve the right to not accept business if we feel it puts our guests, our employees, our hotels and our surrounding communities at any kind of risk," said Roger Conner, vice president of communications for Marriott International, Inc. "In this case, based on those concerns, we decided to not accept the business."
Also, Georgetown seems to be pretty clear on the situation.
