Activities
We have planned the very best activities Naples has to offer!  We hope that you will take advantage of these excellent opportunities to network with other members and colleagues in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
There are a minimum number of people that must participate to make these activities available. The number of people required and the total cost is listed with each event. It is critical that we receive your registration form promptly because all activities must be prepaid and the number of participants confirmed before February 9, 2010! No refunds for activities will be given after February 19th. You will be notified if any of these activities must be cancelled, and your fees refunded. On-site registration for activities will be based on availability and an additional processing fee will apply. Please note that if you sign up for an activity on site during the Meeting and there is availability, you must present a credit card or the cost will automatically be charged to the credit card number we have on file. We appreciate your cooperation in meeting the deadlines given so that we can avoid additional costs!
