Join us for Industry Seminar at Hotel Maya, Long Beach, CA

November 7-9, 2010

You will want to join us for CSNA Industry Seminar at Hotel Maya, 700 Queensway Dr., Long Beach, CA 90802. This event is scheduled for November 7th - 9th. The Hotel Maya offers special amenities for our group, so plan on arriving early or staying late to take advantage of everything the property has to offer. Our Group Rate will be honored 2 days after the Industry Seminar, subject to availability.

The Industry Seminar Committee is hard at work planning the details of the event.  See the schedule below for complete details

In addition, what would Industry Seminar be without the opportunity for networking and camaraderie? The committee has organized a great program with a special event slated for Monday evening. In order for all registrants to enjoy the full extent of the seminar and to promote education and networking; the CSNA Industry Seminar committee is requesting that all members refrain from private entertaining on Monday evening so that everyone can enjoy one another’s presence. Sunday evening has been set aside for attendees to explore the many opportunities that Long Beach offers.  We thank you for your cooperation in advance.

The Vendor Table Top event is open to all attending vendors who would like to have an opportunity to present their products. This is a Point of Sale show only so no food samples at the tables. Vendors are welcome to have informational hand outs, table banners, simple decorations at their table and to have giveaways.

Take care of the lodging details now!
Hotel Reservation Cut-Off date is Friday, October 15th!
Lodging at Hotel Maya is $149 per night, single/double plus tax.  Subject to availability, the rate will be honored 2 days post conference.
