WCNC 2000 Welcome Reception - The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Unwind Chicago Style with glass of wine, scrumptious hors douevres, an elegant setting and of course the blues, the music that is the heart of the windy city. Ascending the grand staircase of the School of the Art Institute's Ballroom, and you are transformed to another era. Like a scene out of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the gilded jazz age of the Roaring 20's. Winner of numerous awards for architectural excellence, this room has been restored to reflect the look and feel of its 1927 splendor. The perfect opportunity to network with colleagues, catch-up with old friends, and make new ones.

The WCNC 2000 Welcome Reception is included with all conference registrations except one day and tutorials only. Additional tickets for guests are available for purchase.
