GACRAO 2012
6 - 9 Oct 2012
at Savannah Riverfront Marriott
GACRAO’s Annual Meeting will be held on October 6-9, 2012 in Savannah, GA at the Marriott Riverfront. The Executive Committee has been working very hard and we think you’ll like some of the changes we have made to the conference format this year including an opening session/keynote speaker on Sunday afternoon, a reception with vendors Sunday evening, GISEM/WEALTH Preconference sessions held on Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning, and the association dinner and entertainment on Monday (we’ve rented Savannah Smiles- Dueling Pianos).
