PCMA Launches New Live Learning Center
Through a communications partnership with Content Management Corporation, PCMA launched the Live Learning Center just weeks following the close of the 51st Annual Meeting in Toronto. PCMA's new Live Learning Center is an innovative online learning system that will host the best educational content PCMA has to offer. Already, most of the sessions from the meeting, including several of the most highly rated and well-attended presentations, are live and available for online viewing. The archives consist of original audio recordings of sessions synchronized with presentation slides. When available, session handouts have been included. Video archives are also available. This easily accessible, online format gives meeting attendees and PCMA members the exclusive opportunity to revisit their favorite conference presentations - or listen to a session they may have missed.
Look for educational content from future PCMA programs to be housed on the Live Learning Center.

Help Re-Build New Orleans
A PCMA's Network for the Needy program is partnering with the Meeting Industry Ladies Organization (MILO) to bring the hospitality community together for a Habitat for Humanity home building project. Opportunities to volunteer will be available on May 9 and 10, following the MILO golf tournament. Whether you're headed to New Orleans for the tournament or just want to participate in the build, this community service project promises to be a one-of-a-kind networking experience . For more information, contact Pam Lackland (pam_lackland@conferencedirect.com) or Jo Ann Hoffman (info@clubmilo.com).
