This year will be our first year in Raleigh for our statewide convention. We have many new and exciting things taking place and we hope you will join us for a great convention experience.  In addition to all the presentations during the day we have also planned some leisure time activities for you.

On Thursday night we will have a casino night, silent auction, dance and corn hole tournament...something for everyone to enjoy!   Friday night we will have a FREE comedy show, with professional comedians that will keep you laughing and having a good time with your friends.

On Saturday NC State has a home football game against ECU, and you can still get a great rate at the Marriott hotel for Friday and Saturday nights of $125.00 per night.

There are many great restaurants within walking distance of the convention center and information will be available at the convention center hospitality booth to help you with your options. Crabtree mall is not far if you want to get a jump on your holiday shopping, and there are various parks and greenways for hiking.

If you want to get around downtown to additional restaurants, museums or other points of interest, the R-Line bus system is a great free option. Click on the following link and you can find out a lot more about what to do while in Raleigh. http://www.visitraleigh.com/NCAAHPERD/
