Join us November 4–9, 2011, in Chicago for the ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting. This exciting, friendly, and charming city is world famous for its arts and entertainment, food, architecture, and shopping. Chicago’s great magic lies in its mix: sophisticated yet friendly, bustling city streets adjacent to long stretches of green parks, and sparkling blue Lake Michigan. This year’s meeting, which will be held at McCormick Place West, is only a few miles from the hustle and bustle of the famed Magnificent Mile.
