15th AAPINA Conference has been rescheduled to fall 2018.

November 7, 2017Blogaapina

Due to the low number of cruise conference registrants and abstract submissions, the 15th AAPINA Conference has been rescheduled to fall 2018. The exact dates and venue are yet to be announced, and the conference will be on land. Once we have these information, we will notify you via email. We apologize for the inconvenience. The decision to reschedule was not easy. Planning for the cruise conference began in March right after our 2017 Hawaii conference. Many hours were spent working with the University at Sea (Royal Caribbean), marketing, securing budget proposal and approval, soliciting keynote speakers and planning committee, exhibitors and sponsors, posting the Call for Abstracts, constructing the website, creating the conference theme, and among other things. Thanks for your understanding and support. Most importantly, thank you for all that you do for AAPINA.

Sincerely,

AAPINA Executive Council
