A warm and welcoming weekend awaits you with friendly faces, fun activities, and lots of learning including:

• seminars

• photoshoots
• a Vendors Hall
• a gala
• hotel block
• open swims
• and much much more.

Please note: This event takes place over 3 days, at several different venues.
The majority of seminars and activities, including our gala event will be taking place at our hotel, which is SEPERATE from the pool location. Not ideal, but our hotel is within 15min of our pool and out of the cities just enought to avoid city traffic & parking.
Great River Water Park in St.Paul is continuing to host the aquatics portion of our event, having been our swim home for several years now.
Your badge allows you access to ALL programming at the hotel & pool; no hotel stay required.
