The Executive Board of the North Carolina Association for Behavior Analysis is pleased to announce that the 21st Annual Conference is to be held at the Twin City Quarter in the heart of downtown Winston-Salem, NC, Wednesday, February 17th - 19th, 2010. The Twin City Quarter consists of Winston-Salem’s Benton Convention Center with an adjoining Embassy Suites and Marriott Hotel. In addition to its central location within the state, some of the additional amenities include complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast, complimentary manager’s reception each evening and large two- or three-room suites should you choose to stay at the Embassy Suites. A variety of restaurants and shops are within walking distance of both hotels.
Speakers from within North Carolina and across the country will present research and practice pertaining to applied and basic problems that are currently being addressed within the field of behavior analysis and in related fields such as developmental disabilities, autism, education, and animal training. We are also very fortunate to have a number of extremely talented behavior analysis professionals, researchers, and students who have agreed to present.
