October 18–21, get away to sunny California for ACCP’s Annual Meeting and 30th anniversary celebration. The entire family will enjoy the extracurricular activities available in Anaheim. Go online today to check out special discounts for meeting attendees and hotel guests, as well as the full educational agenda. Registration for the meeting and the headquarter hotel, the Hilton Anaheim, is now open at www.accp.com/am.
Located in the heart of southern California, Anaheim offers a mild climate, scenic palm trees, and a convenient “campus”-like feel for meeting attendees. The open-air walkway between the newly renovated Hilton Anaheim and Anaheim Convention Center offers attendees a convenient, fresh-air route to daily meeting events. Traveling to warmer climates (especially in October!) has its perks, and you are sure to find plenty of leisure options for you and your family.
The Anaheim Convention Center and Hilton Anaheim are located just down the street from the Anaheim Resort District, which is an 1100-acre beautifully manicured area that encompasses the original Disneyland, Disney’s California Adventure, and the Downtown Disney entertainment district. Anaheim Resort Transit (ART) buses pick up and drop off directly outside the Hilton Anaheim.
For those not interested in Disney or just looking for a place to have dinner and gather with friends, Anaheim has added the now-famous GardenWalk (http://www.anaheimgardenwalk.com/). This open-air district showcases several renowned restaurants and shops, all stylishly surrounded by lush landscaping, waterfalls, and rich architecture. The GardenWalk entertainment district, which is about 3 blocks or a 10-minute walk from the Hilton Anaheim, was fully completed this year.
2009 is the year to be in Anaheim to experience the “new” city. The Hilton Anaheim has been completely renovated, the Anaheim Convention Center has been updated, and the GardenWalk is fully operational.

Take advantage of special discounts on travel arrangements and hotel amenities for meeting attendees by visiting the ACCP Web site at www.accp.com/am. Early registration ends September 3.
