 Social FunctionsEvening social functions, breakfasts and luncheons offer NAC convention attendees the opportunity to network and interact in a casual and fun environment. These events are where old friendships are renewed, new contacts are initiated, and relationships are formed that last far beyond the end of the convention. As always, the social events at the NAC Annual Convention will provide attendees with a fun and relaxed atmosphere in which to socialize and interact with their peers. Previous evening social events have included evenings at Fenway Park, Angel Park, and other major stadiums and arenas; an evening of food, drink and live comedy entertainment; access and private events at major parks and attractions, and more. Watch this space as plans finalize for social events at the 2010 NAC Annual Convention in Houston!
