Venue – The PACA Conference Closing Party is always an event and this year we'll be taking over Chelsea's modern, multi-level, celebrity hotspot, Marquee. A swank downtown lounge is the perfect place to give our attendees the VIP treatment their last night in New York. Attendance, drinks, and tasty fare are included in your registration fees. No need to worry about the rope line… you're with PACA.
We've also negotiated an amazing rate at the stylish, historic New York Downtown Marriott of $259 per night (which is $200 off the online price) but you must reserve your room by September 21, 2010. Rates are good for October 12-18, 2010, overlapping with your business at Visual Connections and allowing you to luxuriate in this four-star accommodation without interruption.
