The Alaska ITE Section invites all ITE members and their families to come north to Alaska for the 2011 Western District annual meeting. The event will be held in Anchorage July 10-13, 2011at the Anchorage Hilton and Egan Convention Center in the heart of downtown Anchorage—walking distance from the Alaska Railroad, hiking/biking trails, the Anchorage Museum of History and Art and shopping.
Alaskans like to say that Anchorage is “20 minutes from Alaska” as it provides a launch location for sightseeing, flightseeing, fishing, hiking, camping and wildlife viewing. Whether you arrive by plane, cruise ship or RV, Alaska will delight you with awe inspiring vistas, in-your-face mountains, animals from cute and furry to big and ferocious.

The meeting venue is 15 minutes from the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport making it easy to travel to other sites around Alaska be it a gold rush town like Nome or a Inupiat community like Barrow at the top of the world before or after the meeting.  Or you can travel by car, RV, or train to the Kenai Peninsula for world class salmon fishing, glaciers tour in the majestic Kenai Fjords, and 100-plus pound halibut!

Whether this is your first ITE Western District annual meeting, you are a frequent attendee or you just want to check Alaska off your bucket list, we’re confident that the Anchorage and nearby Chugach Mountains and other Alaska attractions will encourage you to arrive early and stay late to enjoy the land of the midnight sun!
We invite you north to Alaska in 2011!
