The program committee is hard at work selecting specific sessions and engaging roundtable discussions.  New this year will be behind-the-scenes VIP tours and hands-on opportunities at area museums such as Naper Settlement, the DuPage Children’s Museum, Robert McCormick Museum and First Division Museum and Cantigny.  As plans firm up, future announcements will share special guest speakers talking about the magic of place and how to make each of our places as great as they can be. Holiday Inn Select in Naperville, with easy access right off of I88, will be the conference headquarters for the November 3-5, 2010 IAM annual conference.  Thanks to a great gesture from the Holiday Inn Select, double rooms will be only $77 a night and a King room or suite at $89.  These super rates will be held three days before and after the conference.  So check out your calendar and think about extending your stay in DuPage County.  Other special promotions for conference attendees include Free admission to all of the museums in the Kane-DuPage Regional Museum Association before and after the conference, Special offers and packages for Downtown Naperville shopping and dining, Free internet access in all hotel rooms, Swimming, fitness center and business center in the hotel, and easy access into downtown Chicago and it’s magical world of museums. Sincerely, Peggy Frank, Conference Coordinator
