On behalf of the 2010 Local Conference Committee we invite you to the next PPIC technical conference, to be held for the first time in San Antonio, Texas. If you’ve never been, you’re in for a treat. But even if you have been before you’re sure to discover something new in this diverse and historical city.

Located directly on the world famous San Antonio River Walk, the historic “La Mansion” hotel has recently undergone restoration and is a jewel among the Omni Hotel Properties. Integrated into several downtown attractions, it’s a short walk to the Alamo, and to the River Center Mall.

We are also planning to take advantage of San Antonio’s history and area attractions for entertaining and memorable Guest / Spouse programs. Daily tours and excursions will be arranged to begin each morning after breakfast and end by mid-afternoon, allowing some free time for shopping, additional site seeing, or relaxing in the hotel.

Convenient and affordable travel packages to San Antonio are available from almost anywhere in North America, and we’re hopeful that you’ll join us in a great city, at a great hotel, for a great conference.

We believe the 2010 PPIC Conference in San Antonio will be a memorable event. All work to make each conference a solid learning opportunity, but the local conference committee is committed to organize this destination where all can relax and unwind.
