There will be educational sessions, opportunities for networking plus lunch, entertainment, door prizes and awards. The evening program will feature entertainment plus dinner and dancing. A memorable and colorful keepsake souvenir brochure will commemorate the Convention and complimentary copies will be distributed to all sponsors/advertisers, invited guests, members and participants.
