Join us next summer in the heart of one of the Northwest’s greatest cities for five days of relaxation, education, and Seattle sights and sounds.

With something for everyone, Seattle is the perfect home for AIM convention 2011. What memories will you make?

Seattle’s cultural history runs deep through its city districts. Take a stroll down on the waterfront and enjoy authentic seafood. Spend a day soaking up the culture of a vibrant downtown full of museums and shops. Venture up to the university district for a taste of college life or head over to the international district for a cultural experience. The influences of technology, industry, heritage, and history run rich through Seattle, and it is all yours to explore.

Touring Seattle goes hand-in-hand with experiencing Seattle, and you will not be short on activities in the Emerald city. If leisure activities are your thing, what better place could there be to scope out a secluded coffee shop and curl up with a good book? If you are into sports and recreation, the Mariners baseball team is just down the street and parks, hiking trails, and the great outdoors are always nearby.

Whether riding up the Space Needle or cruis­ing on a ferry, your Seattle experience is bound to be a memorable one.

AIM’s convention headquarters is in the heart of Seattle’s downtown at the Renaissance Seattle Hotel. Luxurious accommodations with down-home service, the Renaissance is an ideal location for relaxation, networking, and even pampering. Wind down in the comfort of the Renaissance’s spacious rooms and soak in remarkable views of Puget Sound. And when you are ready to tackle the city, all you have to do is step out the door.

Pike Place Market is just blocks away. The Seattle Center is practically in your backyard. The location of the Renaissance and the wonders of Seattle make AIM’s 2011 convention the perfect spot for a big city retreat.

Get a head start on planning your trip to AIM’s 2011 convention on June 15-19. We know how quickly your summer months fill up, so make sure to mark your calendars now.
