More Details on Reception and Boat Cruise than Actual Conference at Next ANCA Affair

The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) is accepting registrations for their upcoming Armenian Cause 2.0 conference in Washington, DC. The conference will be held from Jun. 24-27 and includes the tag line “social networks, grassroots power and smart advocacy.”

“Join with Armenian Americans from across the country for a weekend program of compelling presentations, hands-on workshops, and practical training — all designed to empower you as an even more energetic and effective ambassador for the Armenian Cause,” reads the conference description on the ANCA website.

The lavish event includes a welcoming reception at the historic W Hotel rooftop terrace overlooking the White House, a private guided tour and garden reception in the historic home of past US president Woodrow Wilson, a catered evening dinner reception at the Armenian embassy, and a twilight boat cruise along the Potomac.

There will also be presentations on ANCA’s regional and national programs, as well as a presentation on the challenges and opportunities on “the issues” (these are not elaborated upon in the conference schedule).

The cost of the conference is $150 for adults and $75 for students (presumably not including hotel accommodation fees).
