Apologies for cross-posting.

It's safe to assume that your bag is already packed. Perhaps you have
already arrived at the airport! Who could blame you - the 2011 ACA
Conference in Toronto begins in only five days!!

In the final post in the Host Committee's series of social activity
spotlights we provide you with a few reminders and point you towards
resources on the Conference web page that will help you make the most
of your time in Toronto.

But first, an exciting announcement!

One of the most popular events at the ACA Conference is, of course,
the traditional East/West Ballgame. After some quick research on the
ACA website, it was discovered that, of those games that were
reported, the current standings are 11 wins for each side!

However, a new development will make this year*s clash all the more
hotly contested. The winners of Thursday night's game will not only
have bragging rights for the upcoming year, but they will also be the
recipient of the recently rediscovered Doughty Cup!!

Details of this seemingly long lost trophy will be revealed during its
presentation following the game. But needless to say, the stakes will
be as high as they have ever been!

On to less important matters!

All the relevant materials for your attendance at the Conference -
Conference at a Glance, Online program - is available on the ACA
website. There's even a list of registered delegates, so you can
decide ahead of time who you want to see... And who you plan to drag
on to the dance floor!
