We hope you're planning to attend the 2009 TAE4-HW Conference that will be held in Chattanooga, April 29-May 1. The conference theme is "All Aboard for a Journey to Success," in honor of the Chattanooga Choo-Choo landmark.

The planning committee has packed the schedule not only with educational workshops and speakers, but with time for you to enjoy Chattanooga's area landmarks.

The conference will be held downtown at the Chattanoogan Hotel, within walking distance of many attractions. Conference room rates are $129.00/night for a double room.
