New Venue. New Dates.
IASD’s 27th Annual Conference will be held at the Crowne Plaza Resort in Asheville, North Carolina. The conference will open on Sunday evening, July 27, and conclude with the Dream Ball on Thursday night, July 1, 2010.
The conference planning committee had to work quickly to establish the new venue following unforeseen circumstances requiring cancellation of the original plans to meet at Western Carolina University.
The Crowne Plaza Resort is a serene retreat located on 125 rolling acres overlooking downtown Asheville. It is a full-service resort with an 18-hole par 70 regulation golf course, four outdoor clay tennis courts, a heated outdoor swimming pool, an on-site fitness room, spacious guest rooms, 30 deluxe vacation villas, and complimentary high-speed wireless Internet access.
The Crowne Plaza is just 12 miles from the Asheville Regional Airport, with direct flights to and from Atlanta, Charlotte, and Chicago International airports. Shuttle service is available between the resort and the airport.
Plan to extend your stay in North Carolina through the 4th and beyond so you can enjoy all the state has to offer: hiking, biking, rafting, and kayaking. View the artwork of potters, weavers and artists and visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or the famous Biltmore Chateau.
Make 2010 the year you decided to visit North Carolina – the state that produced Andrew Jackson, James Polk, Charles Karault, Hiram Rhoades Revels (first African-American member of the US Congress), Thomas Wolfe, award-winning movies, and the not to be forgotten Pepsi and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
