This is the cultural heart of our city and home to great shopping and nightlife; as well as the Bricktown Ballpark, the Oklahoma City National Memorial, the Ford Center Arena and numerous other captivating attractions -- all just a short walking distance away. When your day at the conference is complete, you will enjoy a relaxing evening on the canal or at another spot in OKC where the cowboys of the Old West still ride -- their thundering hoof-beats echoing through time to be felt as the hearty pulse of life here today. This bustling city combines the best of the good old days with present prosperity. Where else can you find a national memorial monument, a beautiful canal with safe walking paths, bountiful restaurants, art museums, entertainment, botanical gardens, NBA basketball, shopping, Olympic sculling on the Oklahoma River, all within walking distance of our hotel and conference center?

Additional information will be shared in the next newsletter, through email events and soon at the www.aacpmconference.com website. Until then, enjoy the highlights of the 2009 AACPM Conference.

We know you will want to spend some extra time in Oklahoma, or maybe bring the family, so we are ready to help you with ideas and options beyond the conference. Watch for updates and a chance to help create a great conference experience.

Experience “Resiliency” first hand in Oklahoma
