2022 BPW/FL Annual Conference
When: May 19 – 22, 2022
Where: Wesley Chapel, FL
Hotel: Saddlebrook Resort
This year’s theme is Pearls of Wisdom! The conference committee is planning an informational and fun conference at the beautiful Saddlebrook Golf Resort. Per the membership’s request we are going to go back to some of our more familiar things this year, with plated lunches on Friday and Saturday, as well as our installation banquet on Saturday evening. So that you can plan early, we also think everyone is ready to dress up, so the banquet will be a formal event.
Pricing: 1 bedroom, 1 bath suites at $179 per night (sleeps up to 2) and 2 bedroom, 2 bath suites at $249 per night (sleeps up to 4). These rates are inclusive of resort fees and 1 car per room being valet parked, if available, at no cost. Click HERE to register at the hotel. Based on availability, these room rates are good for three days before and three days after conference. The sooner you make your reservation (no deposit necessary), the easier it will be for the resort to place us as close to each other as possible. Cutoff for the room block is April 19 but the block may be sold out before then.
We look forward to seeing everyone in May 2022. In the interim if you have any questions or would like to participate in planning, please reach out to Jerri Evans, 2022 State Conference Chair, at jerri0679@gmail.com.
