2008 Annual Management Conference Agenda

The AMC committee has worked extremely hard this year to prepare for an excellent 2008 conference in Greenville, SC.
A couple of features have been added. For instance, in order to give our sponsors maximum value, all breaks, meals (other than the banquet) will be held in the exhibit hall.
Also, each conference participant will be given a 'sponsor passport' which encourages each attendee to visit all of our CACCE and AMC sponsors. Those who have a complete passport stamped by all sponsors will be entered in a drawing for the use of a BMW Z4 for a weekend and two complimentary hotel nights, one in Asheville and one in Greenville.
In addition, there will be regular session drawings for original local artwork from the South Carolina Upstate.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS CONFERENCE!

Thank you to the 2008 AMC Sponsors!

"I have been in the chamber business for more than 16 years now and I always learn new things through the CACCE activities. I think the networking at these events are invaluable and helps keep me informed and gives me insight for new ideas for my chamber and community. I highly recommend membership in this organization for any chamber executive. We can never stop learning in today’s competitive world and this provides that perfect opportunity as we learn from each other."

Tammy Williams,

Dunn Area Chamber (NC)
