CO-LOCATED MEETING WITH ACPOC
MAY SET RECORD ATTENDANCE
The combination of a truly excellent program of scientific and clinical
sessions coupled with a superb faculty which includes more than a dozen
international speakers, and an attractive destination may result in the
largest attendance ever for an Academy meeting.
The hotel room block was filled and exceeded more than three weeks ago.
To date, Disney's Coronado Springs Resort has been able to accommodate
all reservations received after the published deadline and is still
honoring the discounted room rate of $162. Rack room rates (without the
Academy meeting discount) range from $190-$320 with premium rooms going
for much more.
Meeting registrations are well ahead of last year's count at this point
in time. Pre-registrations for this year's meeting are already beyond
what is normally received. In addition, almost 50 practitioners from the
Department of Veterans Affairs have registered for the meeting and will
also hold a separate day of education programming ahead of the Annual
Meeting program. In addition to the VA's participation, US-ISPO and
ACPOC will hold their respective business meetings during the four-day
event.
Adding to the numbers this year is that the Academy meeting is
co-located with ACPOC which historically has 200-300 members and
suppliers attend its annual meeting.
Complete program details, hotel information, and online registration may
be found on the Academy's website at www.oandp.org.
