|
Athens, GA - (June 26, 2007) - The First Annual National Conference on University and
College Conference Centers was held June 3-5, 2007, at the University of
Georgia Center for Continuing Education Conference Center & Hotel.
Co-sponsored by the Georgia Center and the University of Alabama College
of Continuing Studies, the three-day conference explored the issues,
challenges and opportunities of collegiate conference centers,
attracting 100 participants from organizations throughout the United
States and Canada.
"The conference was outstanding in the quality of the presentations and
the opportunity to network with colleagues from across the country. We
enjoyed partnering with the University of Alabama to offer this
much-needed conference. This type conference and its resounding success
will help the Georgia Center maintain its pre-eminent position in the
field of university-based conference centers, nationally," said Susan
Allen, Department of Conference & Program Development. One of the
participants from North Carolina State University commented, "Both my
professional development knowledge, skills, and abilities as well as my
spirits have been elevated to an all-time high. The speakers, breakout
sessions, breaks, and meals were superb. Most of all, thank you for the
true Southern hospitality!"
The second annual conference will be held August 4-6, 2008 at the
University of Alabama's Bryant Conference Center in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The event returns to the Georgia Center in 2009.
