Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 13th Annual Association of Aquatic Professionals Conference and Exposition February 10-17, 2024, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. Over the past 13 years, the Annual Conference and Exposition has become the premiere gathering for aquatic professionals to showcase their success stories, network with peers, develop organizational partnerships, and hear from speakers willing to share their tips, techniques, and experiences for the benefit of our profession. Through the Annual Conference and Exposition, the Conference - Educational Committee aims to provide attendees with practical, hands-on experiences so they may return home with relevant, actionable plans to improve their drowning prevention, programming, leadership, risk management, technical operations and overall facility management efforts. Speakers will present topics which have real-world application for aquatics professionals, that will help all of us address the challenges and shape the future of the aquatics profession. Educational tracks include: Drowning Prevention, Risk Management, Staff Training, Leadership, Programming, Design, Aquatic Therapy, Professional Development, Diversity and Inclusion, University, and Facility Operation, as well as a new Model Aquatic Health Code Track presented by the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code (CMAHC). The Annual Conference and Exposition provides an exciting opportunity for sponsoring organizations to showcase their products and services to aquatic professionals from across the country. In addition to our general sessions, the conference offers concurrent session tracks that will allow attendees the opportunity to customize their learning experiences.
