2011 AWPA Technical Committee
Meetings:
Anchorage, Alaska September 11-15, 2011
Pre-registration has closed. Please register on-site.
Anchorage is a unique, year-round destination with once-in-a-lifetime
experiences. Plan your trip today at the
Anchorage
Convention & Visitors Bureau website.
Note: Due to recent Technical Committee Regulation
revisions, the deadline for proposals for new standards
or changes to existing standards is now 60 days prior to the
commencement of the meetings. For the Fall 2011
Standardization Cycle, the deadline for all
proposals was Thursday, 14 July 2011. Comments
or suggested modifications of proposals shall be sent to the
proponent of the proposal as soon as possible. Any
presentations or written materials to be discussed at the meetings
shall be distributed to the proponent, the Technical Committee, and
AWPA at least 20 days prior to the commencement of the meetings,
which was Tuesday, 23 August 2011.
Hotel Reservations
The meetings will take place at the
Hilton Anchorage Hotel
at 500 West Third Avenue in downtown Anchorage. The group
rate for the meeting is $129 per night (single/double) for a
standard guestroom. Other room types are available at
discounted rates for meeting attendees. State and Federal
government rates may be available to those who qualify.
Each person is responsible for making his or her own hotel
reservations. The cut-off date for hotel reservations
was
Wednesday, 10 August 2011. Please note that AWPA
receives discounts and complimentary meeting room space if our
attendees are staying at the host hotel, enabling AWPA to keep
its registration fees at relatively low rates. For this reason,
we encourage you to stay at the Hilton Anchorage Hotel.
Meeting Registration
Registration is open to any person who wishes to attend the
meetings. AWPA members, however, may register at deeply
discounted rates. If you are a non-member and wish to join
AWPA so that you may take advantage of the member rate, please
click here
for more information on AWPA membership.
Registration entitles one to attend all technical committee
meetings and the nightly AWPA hospitality suite. Meals and
lodging are not
included. Please note that registering for the meeting does
not reserve a room for you at the hotel. You must make your
hotel reservations individually.
Registration Fees are as follows:
- Early Registration (by July 31): $155
(members), $250 (non-members)
- Pre-Registration (August 1-26): $180
(members), $275 (non-members)
- On-site Registration (September
11-15): $205 (members), $300
(non-members)
Please note that no refunds will be issued for cancellations.
(non-member
rates are significantly higher than member rates...please consider joining
AWPA to register for the lower rate if not a member)
Local and Regional Activities
Many activities await those who wish to venture outside the
walls of the meeting room. If you plan to go hunting or
fishing, many lodges are already filling up and hunting guides
may be difficult to come by. If you wish, you might
contact guides we know, such as Ralph Meloon at
Kenai
River Suites, or Rocky McElveen at
Alaskan
Adventures. They might be completely booked, but they
can probably steer you in the direction of reputable lodges or
guides. For hunting, bear is your best bet, and for
fishing, the time is right for rainbow trout and silver (coho)
salmon. If you plan to hunt or fish, plan your trip now!
Besides hunting or fishing, there is so much more to do, such
as:
- taking a glacier day-cruise
- sightseeing by train
- driving up to Denali National Park
- and so much more!
