NAHO is going to the Orlando area for this year’s annual professional development conference. The theme for 2008 is Striving for Excellence in the Hearing Process.
The dates of the conference are November 9 - 12, 2008.
The conference will be held at the Regal Sun Resort (formerly the Grosvenor), which is located in Walt Disney World at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The Regal Sun is located directly across the street from Downtown Disney, which offers many dining, shopping and entertainment opportunities. There are many great dining opportunities just a short walk from the hotel, including Rainforest Café, Planet Hollywood, House of Blues, Wolfgang Puck Café, Bongo’s Cuban Café, Ragland Road, Fulton Crab House, and the Portobello Yacht Club. Quick service food is also available at places like McDonald’s, Earl of Sandwich, and Ghirardelli Soda Fountain. There are great shopping opportunities for souvenirs at Downtown Disney. Entertainment abounds at Downtown Disney with Disney Quest, an indoor interactive theme park; Cirque Du Soleil; and AMC 24 Theatre Complex.
We will be structuring our conference a little differently this year to allow participants to enjoy some of the many fabulous venues at Walt Disney World while still offering a full program of top quality sessions for
administrative adjudicators. The conference will begin with registration opening at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday morning and will kick off with a welcome reception for breakfast at 9:00 a.m. We will conclude the Sunday sessions at 1:00 p.m. to allow everyone an opportunity to visit the Disney theme parks. See below for a link on our website to Disney tickets. This allows you an opportunity to purchase tickets for you and your family at a discount. This will also allow you to purchase after 2:00 p.m. and after 4:00 p.m. tickets to the theme parks at a discount. These discounted tickets are only available to NAHO conference attendees and their families. In order to allow you to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity, we structured 
the conference program so that you will have time to visit the theme parks on an after 2:00 p.m. ticket on Sunday and after 4:00 p.m. ticket on Monday, without taking away from the exceptional education and training sessions NAHO is known for. We will conclude the conference on Wednesday at 12:00 noon as usual. So come early and stay late to enjoy the NAHO conference and the beautiful Sunshine State.
