The 2022 AOAP Conference and Exposition and DIA Convention will be held in Florida from 7-10 February 2022.

Taking place at the Tradewinds Island Grand Resort & Convention Center in St. Pete Beach, the event is one of the largest gatherings for aquatic professionals in the US.

As well as a comprehensive programme of seminars and workshops, the event offers delegates the opportunity to network with peers and develop organisational partnerships.

The opening keynote address will be given by Olympic silver medallist swimmer Elizabeth Beisel.

Held for the 11th time in 2022, this year's educational programme includes sessions on drowning prevention, risk management, staff training, leadership and programming design.

The Association of Aquatic Professionals (AOAP) is an international association with around 1,600 members.

Juliene Hefter, CEO of AOAP, said: "Over the past 11 years, the Annual Conference and Exposition has become the premier gathering for aquatic professionals to showcase their success stories and hear from speakers willing to share their tips, techniques and experiences for the benefit of our profession.

"Through the event, we aim to provide attendees with practical, hands-on experiences so they may return home with relevant, actionable plans to improve their management efforts."
