Destination ImagiNation® Global Finals 2009 - Wed May 20

The Largest Creative Competition of Its Kind - Ever

Wednesday May 20 - Saturday May 23 - University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Last year, 1039 teams from all 50 states and around the World were at Opening Ceremony. Details on the live webcast of opening ceremony will be here, on the GlobalFinals.org web site.

Below, NHICC and one member from each team enters the Thompson-Boling arena for the Parade of Affiliates that leads off Opening Ceremony!

This year there is a Global Pep Rally kick-off at World's Fair Park. That will explain a lot of the details to team members, have some fun and get ready for an amazing week.

And yes, PIN TRADING starts there! Okay, likely earlier - it *IS* Pin trading, and that is more than just an ice-breaker in meeting people!
