As you know our 2016 Annual Industry Meeting in Arlington, Virginia is quickly approaching (October 26 and 27). We are excited to see everyone and to have a successful meeting! A few things to note as you prepare for your trip:

  • The Action Items from the 2015 Industry Meeting held last October can be found in this PDF. We hope these provide information on the steps we took to better the program based on your feedback from last year's meeting.
  • If you haven't done so yet, please take a few minutes to register on Eventbrite for this year's meeting. The deadline for registering is Friday, October 14. Please click the link below for information on registering.
  • If you'd like to reserve a room at the hotel under our block, the deadline is tomorrow, October, 6 at 11:59 p.m. ET. After that time, you can still reserve a room at the hotel; however, the rate is not guaranteed. The link and phone number for the hotel is in our Notice to the Trade at the following link.
