After more than a year of searching for a new location for the North American Rink Conference & Expo (NARCE), the U.S. Ice Rinks Board of Directors has chosen Buffalo, N.Y. as the host city for the 2019-2021 events. "Downtown Buffalo has undergone a significant revival over the past few years and is continuing to do so today. I believe that our members will be pleasantly surprised with the facilities we will be using for the event and the atmosphere of downtown Buffalo," said Jeff Theiler, Chief Operating Officer, USIRA. The Hyatt Regency in downtown Buffalo will be host to guest rooms, educational courses, meals and networking events; the on-ice course components will be held at the Northtown Center at Amherst, and the trade show will take place in the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center attached to the Hyatt.
