"GHIMA celebrating 75 Years, Past, Present & Future" is our theme for our 2010 GHIMA Annual Meeting and Exhibits on August 4-6, 2010 at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel, Atlanta, GA.
GHIMA would like to extend an invitation to you to actively participate at the meeting by exhibiting your product or service. In addition, we invite you to sponsor a GHIMA event during the meeting.
We are excited about our 2010 Annual Meeting and Exhibits and look forward to an educational and dynamic event for both our members and exhibitors. An important part of the meeting is the exhibit time we schedule for our members. The exhibits are structured to provide maximum traffic flow and opportunity for contacts with the attending members.
Building on the success from previous meetings, exhibits will be held on the days with highest meeting attendance to increase your exposure to attendees. We are excited to be meeting at the beautiful Renaissance Waverly Hotel. In addition, the host hotel, The Renaissance Waverly Hotel, is a full-service upscale hotel that is close to premier shopping, dinning and entertainment.
Don’t delay, space is limited, going fast and expected to sell out early. Register your booth now by completing the online registration form. We look forward to seeing you in August 2010.
This year’s meeting theme is
“GHIMA – Celebrating 75 Years, Past, Present &
Future”. Join us as we celebrate 75 years of GHIMA. You are welcome to
decorate your exhibit booth in any of the past years and bring back those early
years of the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and on to the 2000’s. We will be having lots of
fun in bringing back those early year memories.
