Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma

The most economical and valuable conference you will attend in 2010. The National Center on SBS/AHT recognizes the challenges of getting financial support for training and conferences during these hard economic times. In consideration for this challenge we have worked hard to offer you a package that not only includes our high quality program and presenters but is very economical to attend. Here are the top 10 reasons this conference is so affordable to attend in 2010.
1. The venue for the conference is the 5 star hotel, The InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead, and the deluxe room rate is only $139 a night for rooms that normally go for $389! Venue Information
2. Atlanta was selected because it is the easiest airport in the United States to fly in to, and rates for flights are very affordable. Round trip flights from San Diego, Salt Lake, Seattle, Minneapolis, Boston or Orlando for example range from only $210 to $380. www.atlanta.net
