for our attendees at the
Hyatt Regency,
Jacksonville Riverfront – just $99 (guaranteed for 2013). Please feel free to take a
virtual
tour of the hotel and see what the
Jacksonville area has to offer. Learn some
history and an abundance
of other facts as well. And plan to join us in 2013.
Once the hotel has given us a code for the group rate and added it to their reservation system, we will post more information here and announce it to our support groups and in other ways. Program information and other details will be added as well, so check back here occasionally!
