1997 Annual Meeting Sets New Attendance Record


The 1997 Annual Meeting of the PAA, held at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, DC, March 27- 29, was by most indicators a smashing success despite its coincidence with the Easter weekend. Registration at the meeting topped 1,600. Attendance at the 140 regular paper sessions was also high. Washington also provided excellent weather and a beautiful display of cherry blossoms for PAA attendees who were able to take the time to leave the hotel. If you enjoyed the 1997 meetings, you will be pleased to hear that PAA will again be meeting at the Grand Hyatt Washington in the year 2001, March 29-31.
