16th ICCN Gala Dinner

ISNCC is honored to have the opportunity to share the 2010 conference host city with the National Headquarters and South Atlantic Division offices of the American Cancer Society (ACS), and is delighted that the Gala Dinner is to be held within the building of an organization dedicated to eliminating cancer on Wednesday, March 10, 2010.

Participation in the gala evening provides a fantastic opportunity for guests to experience the location and work of the oldest and largest voluntary health agency in the United States, which has more than two million volunteers nationwide.

There will be a reception from 7.00pm, followed by a seated dinner and dancing to a DJ from 7.30pm onwards. As an exciting pre-dinner bonus our gala dinner guests have the opportunity to tour the ACS on their own. The ACS is kindly opening a variety of departments for 1½ hours prior to dinner (6.00pm – 7.30pm), and providing volunteers to answer any questions and provide information for guests. The departments open for viewing on the tour are currently being finalized, but we are pleased to be able to currently confirm the following will be open - International, Corporate Communications, Health Promotions, South Atlantic Divisions, Executive Conference Center. You will be able to spend as much time as you wish in either one or multiple departments. 

The American Cancer Society is just a short walk from the Westin Peachtree Plaza, and can be reached by covered walkway, or an outside stroll.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity! Tickets are available for $100 per person and can be booked online at http://www.isncc.org/conference/16th_ICCN/Registration.aspx.
