NETWORK 2025: NEW LOCATION ANNOUNCEMENT

Two years ago, ASA signed a contract with the Grand Hyatt in Washington DC to host NETWORK2025 and with a new Administration and Congress, we looked forward to returning to our nation’s Capital. We were notified in late January that the Grand Hyatt's restaurant and bar would be under renovations, starting on November 1, which would not only disrupt our event, but also eliminate an on-site restaurant and bar for our attendees.

After an extensive search for alternative locations (including venues in DC) that would allow ASA to host a quality conference, the officers have approved the relocation of the event to the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort. We are excited to secure this property for the same dates originally planned for DC, November 12-14, as the ASA leadership deemed it essential to keep the dates unchanged.

We personally conducted a site inspection of the hotel, and it will be an excellent fit for our event. Fantastic location, beautiful area, multiple airport options, and we will have all the function space at the hotel and most of the guest rooms.

We are disappointed to not be going to Washington DC especially with the change in administrations, but we simply couldn’t put our members in a poor climate for a quality event.

Staff are working hard to shift gears and redo most of the marketing and registration materials. We expect registration to open by mid-April. For a preliminary schedule and details on NETWORK2025 at the Fort Lauderdale Marriot Harbor Beach Resort, visit www.asa.net/NETWORK.
