Conference Dates: April 26 - 28th, 2012.

Conference Location: ABACO BEACH RESORT, Abaco, Bahamas.

Among Abaco hotels, no destination captures the authentic Out Island lifestyle like Abaco Beach Resort at Boat Harbour. Great Abaco Island is the second largest island in the Bahamas archipelago, lying just north of the Tropic of Cancer approximately 165 miles east of West Palm Beach Florida.

A pristine tropical paradise where pink sand beaches and weathered bluffs line the windward coasts, while mangrove creeks and bonefish flats extend for miles leeward. Offshore cays and barrier reefs fringe the northeast coast, creating a sheltered waterway known as the Sea of Abaco, one of the world's finest cruising and fishing grounds.
