Welcome to the 2018 ITE Northeastern District Annual Meeting
This year’s meeting will be held from Monday May 21, 2018 to Wednesday May 23, 2018 at the Fort William Henry Hotel and Convention Center in Lake George, NY. We are very excited about this meeting and know everyone who attends will not only benefit from a great technical program, with more than 10 PDH’s being available, but will enjoy the local flavor of the meeting and the fun filled social program.
This year we are going to try a few new things that we hope you will like. These things include:
Early Registration Reward
We will be giving away a $100 Amazon Gift Card to one lucky person who registers early, and the earlier you register, the more chances you have to win. So don’t delay, do it now!!! See registration tab for more details.
Trivia Night
Tired on the same old traffic bowl every year? Well, you are in luck! This year we are revamping the Traffic Bowl into a trivia night. Hor d’oeuvres, open bar, the potential for PDH credits and prizes for the winners, what more could you ask for. You won’t want to miss this event.
Mini-Golf Event
As in past years, there will be a golf scramble tournament at a full size golf course, but for those who don’t play golf and still want a little competitive fun, we have added a mini-golf event this year as well. Located at Around the World Golf, just one block from the conference hotel, those who participate will play 18 holes of mini-golf, no equipment or skill required, just a lot of fun to be had by all.
Historic and Ghost Tours
This year’s welcome reception will be held at the historic Fort William Henry Museum, adjacent to the conference hotel, during the reception we will be offering Tours of the facility. One will discuss the history and daily life within the fort, and the other offers a look into the more ghostly aspect of the fort. Please make sure you check off which tour you are interested in when you register.
In addition to these unique events at this year’s meeting, there will also be a Luncheon with a State of ITE presentation [sponsored by: GPI], an Award Dinner [sponsored by: HDR], Student Poster Session, and an ITE Roundtable Discussion hosted by our International President. This is going to be a great Meeting and I hope everyone can attend.
Oh, and don’t forget to book your hotel room early. This year the Hotel is offering all rooms at $124 a night, including the fireplace and Jacuzzi tub luxury rooms, but they are on a first come first serve basis while they last. Book your room early and don’t miss out on this free upgrade.
Finally, I want to thank my Local Arrangements Committee for their Help and Support. This meeting wouldn’t be possible without them.
