SHAPED BY THE MEMBERS
Before each Annual Weekend, members are surveyed about the topics, discussions, and activities they are most interested in.
The host works with presenters and discussion leaders to create a weekend that reflects member interests.
Every year is unique.
MORE THAN A WEEKEND
Many members arrive early or stay after the convention to explore the host city and spend more time with friends.
Members often organize optional outings, trips, or even a pre-convention cruise for extra time together. These activities are informal and optional.
HOTEL & TRAVEL
Hotel accommodations, travel, meals, and other expenses are separate from registration unless specifically stated otherwise.
Visit the Hotel & Travel Information, above, for details on the host hotel, rates, airport information, and more.
