ABOUT THE EVENT


Join us as we return to the Providence, Rhode Island area for a fun-filled weekend celebrating the Fabulous ’50s. We’re pleased to announce that we were able to negotiate the same affordable hotel room rates of $99 double/standard king or $119 king suite. See below for information on reserving your room at the Radisson Hotel Providence Airport.
 

The convention commences with registration at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 21 followed by afternoon speakers and adjourns at noon on Sunday, Oct. 23 after our morning educational workshops. However, we have special Thursday afternoon and evening activities in the works, so you may want to consider arriving early. We will post more news about pre-convention activities as our planning continues.

 

Our attendees will also enjoy meals together during the convention weekend; our open-to-the-public Saturday Show and Sale; and a fun-filled celebration Saturday evening including the presentation of the 2016 CJCI Achievement Award.
