Picture Perfect: Revealing the Beauty Within not only represents the theme of 2004’s outstanding continuing education program, it speaks to the qualities of our host city itself. Few destinations encompass natural splendor and metropolitan flair like Vancouver.
A European flavor envelops the city, highlighted by a combination of classical and modern architecture. Eclectic coffee shops dot the city streets, and the aroma of freshly brewed java drifts through the air. In late April, vast arrays of flowers begin to bloom-just in time to greet AACD guests. Mild temperatures, thanks to the Pacific current, lets travelers to experience Vancouver’s outdoor activities year-round, allowing you to downhill ski in the morning and salmon fish in the afternoon. And the Vancouver Convention Centre, our official conference venue, rests right on the waterfront. Convention attendees will be treated to an awesome view of the natural beauty every time they walk down the halls.
Scientific session dates:
Wednesday, April 28 – Saturday, May 1
