National Conference 2008

Please join us as CMAA Gathers in San Francisco for the National Conference and Trade Show in 2008!

October 12-14, 2008

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

A city known for its diverse, cosmopolitan population, San Francisco has always been open to new ideas.

Since the mid-1800s, opportunists have flocked to the city, seeking to take part in something extraordinary, whether it be the lure of the California Gold Rush or entrepreneurs taking advantage of the city’s rapid growth.

With this backdrop, CMAA will harness the energy abundant in San Francisco at its National Conference. Our theme, Ahead of the Curve – On Top of the Trends, easily describes a city that is known for its progressive character. CMAA members – the industry’s top CM/PM professionals and Owners – will meet for three days of networking and professional Development.

Highlights of this value-packed conference include:

• Keynote Speakers Gary Heil and Norbert W. Young, FAIA

• 39 breakout Educational Sessions in three tracks – focused on Emerging Technologies, Program/Project Management Best Practices, Future Issues and Opportunities for the Industry – presented by 40 industry leaders to provide answers to questions you face daily in your

professional life. Don’t miss the Special Session presented by SAME.

• The CMAA Trade Show, with more than 55 vendors ready to show you their best products and services to streamline your operations and contribute to your project success. Lunch will be offered in the Exhibit Hall on Sunday and Monday, as will several networking breaks.

• Special networking and social events – The Welcome Reception on Sunday evening, offering a great chance to catch up with friends before going out to dinner on the town... The CMAA Foundation Golf Tournament on Sunday morning, promising an enjoyable atmosphere to catch up with colleagues… Two educational and fun landmark tours, organized by the local California Chapters to let you experience a different side of San Francisco and the Bay Area… Tuesday’s 2008 Industry Recognition Dinner, featuring the presentation of our Project Achievement Awards, Distinguished Service Awards, Person of the Year, and other honors.

• Plenty of opportunity to meet new colleagues, renew old acquaintances, sample some of America’s best dining and entertainment, and re-charge your batteries in preparation for an outstanding 2009!
