ST. PETERSBURG – This city’s residents will learn about international issues during the fifth annual St. Petersburg Conference on World Affairs.

The event, organized by St. Petersburg in the World, is scheduled for Feb. 15-17 at the downtown St. Petersburg campus of the University of South Florida. The three-day event is free of charge, with seating on a first-come, first-seated basis.
