The 2017 AAN Leadership Conference will take place November 2 – 4 at the Westin Memphis Beale Street, hosted by The Memphis Flyer. This gathering will give AAN publishers and senior managers a chance to exchange ideas with, learn from, and inspire one another.
To maintain the intimate nature of this event, registration will be capped at 25 people on a first-come, first-served basis. The registration fee is $625 per person and includes two continental breakfasts, two lunches, and two cocktail receptions. Attendees are responsible for their own dinners.
The group rate at the Westin is $179/night.
The Westin Memphis Beale Street’s central location places you just steps from popular attractions such as FedEx Forum, Gibson Museum, and of course – historic Beale Street. Immerse yourself in Memphis’ cultural and historical traditions with easy access to America’s best barbecue and blues.
