Tampa
Tampa Bay is a vibrant waterfront area on Florida's beautiful West Coast that offers a unique blend of urban excitement set in a natural surrounding. While originally the name of a body of water on the West Coast of Florida, Tampa Bay has now come to represent the region made up of the many distinct communities connected by the Bay waters. From the distinct Latin roots of Tampa's historic Ybor (E-bore) City to the Greek history of Tarpon Springs; from the thrills of Busch Gardens to the culture of its museums, you'll have plenty of exciting attractions and communities to explore.

Tampa Bay's weather, accented by warm sunshine and cool bay breezes, provides the perfect backdrop for our annual conference. In the winter months, the days are pleasantly warm, while the evenings can be a bit cooler.
