Join us in "Big D" on September 2 - 5, 2010 for a weekend of innovative ideas, practical tools and tips, invaluable connections, and big fun. Annual Conference is an essential source of know-how, fresh ideas, and collaboration for artistic directors, administrators, and board members.

Lead presenters include the renowned director of Conspirare, Craig Hella Johnson, fundraising auction guru Kathy Kingston, chief executive officer of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, Vt. John Killacky and John Brothers, a nationally recognized expert in nonprofit effectiveness and sustainability. Along with a variety of workshop topics, these presenters will make sure you leave the weekend with ideas worth far more than the cost of the conference!

Our Annual Leadership Conference weekend will include a Singers Retreat beginning Friday evening, Sept. 3 and continuing through Sunday, Sept. 5. The singers will be performing The Faure Requiem under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Palant at the Cathedral of Hope on Sunday afternoon.

Our convention hotel, the Warwick Melrose Hotel, is in the heart of Oak Lawn-Dallas' "gayborhood." The men and women of our local choruses, The Turtle Creek Chorale and The Women's Chorus of Dallas, will extend a big Dallas welcome to their city.
