As event host, AAPP has a duty of care to work to ensure that all individuals at our events are safe from a myriad of possibilities including discrimination, violence, natural disasters, communicable diseases like COVID, etc.

With our contractual obligations in Florida and the impossibility of an alternate location, our focus is on the experience, safety, and wellbeing of our attendees. Though we can’t control everything, including the state of Florida at large, we are working to set expectations in our controlled environments.

A few facts about our event at the Omni Orlando:

1. Omni Orlando is a secluded, private resort outside the hustle and bustle of Orlando but within a drivable distance to the major attractions Orlando has to offer.
2. AAPP will be the dominant group on-site largely occupying one of two conference centers and over 50% of available lodging.
3. Gender neutral bathrooms are accessible on both levels of the conference center.
4. Waived resort fees for AAPP attendees means full access to all on-site activities such as 8 on-property restaurants, putt putt golf, recreation facilities, and pools galore. With all of these amenities, you can enjoy the full resort experience and not venture off the resort unless you wish to. 
5. Omni Orlando boasts a diverse staff committed to an inclusive and safe environment.
