Located in the heart of Houston, Uptown is exceptionally convenient and accessible to the city’s two airports, key freeways, and the Texas Medical Center. Nestled alongside the re-envisioned Memorial Park and the world-famous Galleria, Uptown is a fantastic venue for our annual meeting.

The Galleria, which houses 400 stores and restaurants, is home to a who’s who list of designers, including Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Chanel, Jimmy Choo, and Ralph Lauren, among many others. Sitting alongside the upscale boutiques are anchor stores Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and two Macy's department stores, adding up to more than 2 million square feet of shopping thrills. Microsoft and Apple Stores are also present.

With the help of some local nuclear medicine colleagues, we've listed some recommended things to do in the area. Most venues are outside of the Galleria Mall but within 10 miles. Selecting bolded names will link you to websites and additional information.
