Conference Proceedings
The AAFP Conference Proceedings Book has grown and now includes an increased number of PowerPoint Presentations and handouts. If you attended the 2005 Winter Conference in Puerto Rico, you would have received the new, improved book which allowed attendees to take notes right next to the slide that the speaker was referring to.
The book contains numbered tabs so it is easy to locate the sessions, take notes and refer back to your notes when you return to your practice. Due to the increased size and cost of proceedings book we will not be providing a CD as part of your registration fee. The Conference CD may be purchased separately during or after the conference.

The AAFP encourages participants in the AAFP event to book their overnight accommodations at the event headquarters hotel, The Chicago Renaissance. The AAFP makes every effort to secure the best possible rate for overnight accommodations. This rate for overnight accommodations is part of a negotiated event package that incorporates meeting room rental, meals and breaks, as well as other services associated with conducting the AAFP event. If the AAFP does not achieve the minimum number of overnight accommodations required in the overall event package, it affects the price of other services associated with conducting the AAFP event. This, in turn, impacts registration fees for future programs.
