Would the size of a consolidated association limit the number of venues for the annual meeting?
The size of an international meeting with the New Association would not significantly impact our choice of venues. In consultation with professional meeting planners, we discovered that a meeting of the New Association (with our anticipated attendance numbers) would not be considered “very large” or problematic in having a number of cities available to host us. Additionally, we heard examples of how we could make the annual meeting feel more intimate than have past ACPA/NASPA Joint Meetings (such as the 2007 meeting in Orlando); for example, by providing stronger tracks for interest areas.
