the meeting as well as the opportunities to get together with your colleagues<br />

from the sponsoring societies, you will want to take advantage<br />

of the beauty, attractions, culture, and fun that this city has to offer.<br />

Visitor Information Centers are conveniently located in downtown Salt<br />

Lake at the Salt Palace Convention Center. You will be pleased to know<br />

that Salt Lake City offers a wide variety of restaurants, bars, pubs and<br />

night clubs within the downtown area and beyond. Restaurants, bars<br />

The Salt Lake City Convention and Visitors Bureau will be on site during<br />

with questions.<br />

The light rail system includes several stops in the convention/hotel district.<br />

Attendees will find it easy to get around Salt Lake City. Whether<br />

Meeting Venue<br />

The Salt Palace Convention Center (SPCC) <strong>com</strong>bines spacious meeting<br />

facilities with 21st-century environmental technology. Containing 675,000<br />

square feet of conference area, management strives to reduce, reuse<br />

and recycle. The <strong>20</strong>06 expansion of SPCC was awarded the U.S. Green<br />

Building Council’s Silver LEED status for being designed and constructed<br />

utilizing environmentally responsible techniques. A key <strong>com</strong>ponent of this<br />

planning utilizes water efficient landscaping which has reduced anticipated<br />

water needs for the facility’s landscaping by 50 percent.<br />

Hotels, restaurants and other venues are in close proximity to the Salt<br />

Palace Convention Center. Over 140 restaurants, bars, nightclubs and<br />

brew pubs are within walking distance. The TRAX light rail system offers<br />

free fares in the convention district.<br />
