A Tropical Experience in Orlando

It’s no wonder why the 52nd National Conference has taken on a tropical theme when it is being held at the beautiful Renaissance Orlando Resort at SeaWorld. From June 29 – July 3, 2012 conference attendees will not only have the opportunity to participate in the traditional classes, sessions, and programs offered at every NATS conference, but will have the opportunity to network and share knowledge in the lush and tropical surroundings of this year’s conference. As you prepare for your adventure in Orlando for this year’s conference, be sure to keep the following activities, events, and special offers in mind to help make your experience tropical and magical:

Join us in celebrating another successful conference at this year’s gala banquet, A Tropical Evening in Orlando. Featured guest speaker, Florence Henderson, will be honored with the first Lifetime Achievement Award ever presented by National Association of Teachers of Singing.

The banquet will also feature dinner and dancing. Entertainment will be provided by Clint Wiley’s NONE OTHER. The band’s repertoire sets them apart from others as they cover songs by many of today’s hottest artists, while not forgetting past hits that everyone loves. NONE OTHER has toured the U.S. from Alaska to New England to Hawaii to the Caribbean.
