ASBC Annual Meeting 2001
June 23 - 27
Victoria Conference Center
Victoria, British Columbia
ASBC invites
you to the breathtaking Pacific seacoast city of Victoria, British
Columbia

The real beauty of
Victoria is that you can do almost anything. The dramatic Pacific
Coast offers incredible whale watching and the adventure of the great
outdoors, all within city limits. Take
advantage of the international shopping, lively arts, spectacular
fishing, plus a great golf experience. Afternoon tea is still taken in
a traditional, unhurried manner in this romantic city. Horse- drawn
carriages travel the streets and tall ships moor alongside the wharf.
Attendees and their guests will be charmed with old-world culture and
hospitality.
The meeting headquarters
will be at The Fairmont Empress Hotel. Built in 1908 by the Canadian
Pacific Railway, the recently renovated hotel offers the quiet
elegance of a bygone era along with modern amenities including indoor
swimming, whirlpool and re creation
center. The modern Victoria Conference Centre is connected to the
hotel. Both are in the heart of the city and within walking distance
of the Inner Harbour as well as many of Victoria's many attractions—the
Royal British Columbia Museum is just across the street. The business
portions of the Annual Meeting will take advantage of the
theatre-style seating and modern amenities of the Conference Centre.
The technical program includes 23 oral and 32 poster presentations and
seminars including the first-ever Packaging Seminar planned and
coordinated by the MBAA and the ASBC. The abbreviated preliminary

perfect setting for a memorable
vacation. There is also a post-meeting vacation opportunity that you
will not want to miss. Board the Holland America's ms Westerdam on
June 28 – July 5, 2001. Sit back and relax as you cruise to Alaska
and discover the "Last Great Frontier," Alaska's most
picturesque ports of call.
Looking forward to seeing you in
Victoria.
