The 2011 AAEC Convention will be held at the  Poynter Institute and the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront, in downtown St. Petersburg,  Florida, July 6 – 9, 2011.  

There is tons to do around Tampa Bay — beaches, museums, historic sites, shopping, hiking, kayaking.  And Disney World is just two-hours up  I-4.  Start planning and saving now.

We will have a bargain room rate of $95 per night — find yourself a  roommate, and you can pare that down to $47.50.  The Hilton was completely renovated from top to bottom in 2009, and it has a bitchin' lobby bar, a vast pool deck and poolside bar.

Plus, free parking for the AAEC!
