“Up, Up and Awaywith GHIMA” is
our theme for our 2008 GHIMA Annual
Meeting and Exhibits on August

Convention Center.
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 2008 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
Cobb Galleria Convention Center. In
addition, the host
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
