Experiential Learning Sites
Both institutes will enjoy an opening dinner at the House of Blues. This exciting venue claimed the Visual Merchandising and Store Design (VMSD) magazine's 2005 Renovation Excellence Award.

Both programs will also have an experiential learning trip to the new Crocker Park "lifestyle" retail center in Westlake, OH.

Crowne Plaza Cleveland City Centre
The host hotel for the CRI institutes is the Crowne Plaza Cleveland City Centre. The hotel is conveniently located in downtown Cleveland and minutes from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. It offers amenity-rich rooms (including complimentary high-speed Internet access), a gift shop, and an exercise room.

Most of our meetings will take place in the hotel. However, you will have a day of programming at NACS—so you'll get to see the HQ. And there are those learning and dining tours!
