Read what Dave Larsen, Assistant VP, Meetings & Exhibits of the American College of Chest Phyisicians had to say about their experience in Vancouver: Chest 2010 was a great success! Feedback from our convention attendees and exhibitors has been terrific. They commented on what a beautiful destination Vancouver is and they love the new convention centre, the hotel package, and all of the amenities the city has to offer! Personally, Vancouver has always been my favorite city in North America. Plus, Tourism Vancouver, the Vancouver Convention Centre, and the hotels have all been great to work with.
