APA Annual Meeting & Convention

2020 APA Annual Meeting
CANCELLED

Based on the results of a member feedback survey along with the ongoing economic and international travel uncertainties caused by COVID-19, the APA Board directed staff to explore possible alternatives for this year’s APA Convention in Kansas City. We have been successful in negotiating a solution and the Inter-Continental Hotel has agreed to “lift and shift” our convention to late September 2022 without penalty.

The APA Board and staff are disappointed that we will not be able to meet in person this Fall. We look forward to the day when we can gather with our industry friends and colleagues and want to alert you to these future meeting dates which have already been contracted:

2021 Convention, Sept. 21-24, San Antonio, TX, Hyatt Regency San Antonio

2022 Winter Conference – TBD

2022 Convention, September 27-30, Kansas City, MO, Inter-Continental Hotel
