REGISTRATION
¡Viva México! After 20 years, we are heading back to Los Cabos—you won't want to miss this sun-drenched location!
The 2024 Annual Meeting will consist of two general sessions; committee, board, and member business meetings; two evening receptions and a variety of optional events, including the annual golf and fishing tournaments, and some fun new options! View a printable schedule here.
Going out of the country provides some challenges in preparation for this meeting. We ask for your cooperation in making this a successful AWPA event. Everything will need to be done earlier this year—most importantly, meeting registration and airline + hotel reservations. Do NOT wait until after the holidays to make your plans to attend. The hotel is already sold out for some of our dates, and airline reservations will become harder to come by. Please assist in our planning and make your plans early, and well before the New Year.
¡¡ Important notice for the 2024 Annual Meeting !!
This year in order to participate in the annual meeting’s events, you will be required to stay at the designated conference hotel—the Grand Fiesta Americana. Taking the all-inclusive rates into consideration, we have lowered the registration fee from last year, so your overall expenses should remain close to where they usually are. We have worked with the hotel to provide a competitive rate, which includes access to our group sessions, meals and events. Please visit the Accommodations tab for more information on booking your hotel room.
