The 2009 annual CAPPA conference will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona, June 11th to June 14th. More information regarding this conference will be listed on this page as it becomes available.
Location
Radisson Resort & Casino, Ft. McDowell
"Welcome to the 4 Diamond Radisson Fort McDowell Resort & Casino. You'll find this beautiful new facility on the northeastern edge of Scottsdale in the community of Fountain Hills. It's tucked away in pristine Sonoran Desert surroundings, yet within minutes of the attractions that this region is known for. However, with the scope of amenities on property, you'll never want to leave. Within the boundaries of the resort, you can enjoy a round of championship golf, casino gaming, wild west adventures, and much more. Stay at the Radisson, and you'll be "Close enough to be connected, yet far enough away to be free."
Local Attractions
Arizona is full of natural beauty. The Grand Canyon is only 3 hours away from our host hotel. Shuttles are available for those interested in seeing one of America's greatest natural wonders!
