We at the SPA are getting geared up for our Annual Conference!! We have some great speakers and vendors lined up, who are going to be sharing some new and exciting topics with us. This year's conference will be held at Perdido Beach Resort in beautiful Orange Beach, Alabama. Perdido Beach Resort is Orange Beach's largest privately owned hotel.

SPA will have two time slots available for you to get registered and pick up your welcome packet.  Registration will be from 4-6PM on Thursday, and Friday morning before our speakers begin. Be sure to take advantage of the special rates we have negotiated with the resort.  The link to book your reservation is below.  Please be sure to do this before the deadline date, as we cannot guarantee availability and special pricing after the date listed.  We will be having a private party on Friday, which will include drinks and hors d'oeuvres!
