Thank you for Attending!

Thank you all for attending the ACCED-I Annual Conference in Las Vegas. We hope you all had a great time, while taking away some great ideas from the educational sessions. We had a record attendance of 612 people!

Handouts from breakout sessions are available on the ACCED-I website. Also, take the time to again look over our wonderful sponsors and keep them in mind when it comes time to order again.

We enjoyed seeing all of you, and are already looking forward to next year, March 21-25, 2009 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers in Boston, MA. Region 12 will be working hard to put together a wonderful program.

Attention Canadians

Canadian Eh!

Glad to see we've got a good crop of Canadians heading to Las Vegas for the ACCED-I annual conference. My name is Catherine and I work at the University of Regina. This is my fourth ACCED-I conference and if you're new to the conference, which I believe most of you are, we try and gather the Canadians together early at the conference. It's always great to meet people from all over but we've found in the past that the Canadians face a few different issues from our American counterparts so it's great to make the connection early on.

I'm hoping that you will be able to meet your Canadian colleagues for supper on Saturday night, March 8. Plans have been made to go to Taqueria Canonita at the Venetian. If we could meet just in front of the WEST DESK in the lobby (I'm told this is where we will check in and right by where we register for the conference) at 7:30 p.m., we could go over as a group. I'll be the person holding the Canadian Flag.

Please respond if you plan on attending. Looking forward to meeting you.
