The meeting is purposely kept small at about 500 people to allow for interaction among the attendees. This network is as valuable to many as the consultation with experts.

Yes, the hotel has made the special rate available to NAHC members who come as early as July 16 or stay as late as July 24, but space is limited. Please book early as the demand for rooms will be high.
