Well, I am finally back in the office after almost a week at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.
I am not sure where to start my summary of last weeks 56th National Conference. If you missed it, you missed our biggest and best event ever. And you missed the opportunity to meet and learn from experts in the community association industry from across the country and around the world.
Las Vegas by the numbers:
1,300+ attendees including attendees, sponsors, and vendors
950+ full registrants (50% more than last year!!!)
222 first-time attendees (another record)
112 exhibit hall booths
98 Chapter Executive Directors and Presidents-Elect getting training
25 breakout sessions
19 board, committee, and other meetings
6 receptions, parties and events
4 other countries represented including Australia, Canada, England, and Mexico
2 engaging and entertaining general session speakers
Most importantly, one CAI
All in all a fabulous event for CAI and all of our members, and as is traditional we managed to have a great time as well. Check out our conference blog, Live From Las Vegas, for more information and photos, along with snippets from the many outstanding educational sessions.
If you were there, we really appreciate your support and participation, and if you weren't it is not too early to begin planning for next year in Orlando from April 30 to May 3.
And a special thank you to all of our sponsors, without whom we could not put on such a successful event.
