The  NC Association on Aging  Annual Conference will be held again next year at the Downtown Marriott in Greensboro April 27-29. Some changes for next year (based on conference evaluations) include a lower room rate at the Marriott, and an open Internet Room located adjacent to the Workshops spaces.

The 2010 Conference drew the largest crowd ever with 188 registrants. 

The Conference theme of "Great Challenges, Greater Opportunites," brought together aging staff from forty-nine counties throughout our state to experience training and networking opportunities.  If you missed it, you can still view the Conference Program through this link.  Photos from the Conference can be found on the Association website at Annual Conference.
