CONFERENCE LOCATION
Naples is graced with miles of white-sand beaches, beautiful weather, sumptuous restaurants, fine shopping, and entertainment. The Naples
Pier, first erected in 1888, is the city’s symbol and a popular fishing and dolphin-spotting destination.
The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club promises you an experience you’ll always remember. Try kayaking or paddleboarding, or just take a
walk along the white-sand beach and enjoy a short siesta in a cozy beach chair. Take a dip at Poolside, a multi-pool complex, just steps
from the sand. The large recreational pool is perfect for play and exercise, while the smaller, more secluded, adult-only pool is just right for
relaxing. The complex also includes two whirlpools and Poolside’s bar and grill, which serves cool drinks, spirits, and light fare overlooking
the pools and the beach.
Enjoy the sun by getting in a game at the tennis courts or golf course. With more than 80 championship golf courses in the Naples area,
Naples is the self-titled “Golf Capital of the World”, claiming to have more holes per capita than any other community.
Just a short drive away is Everglades National Park, the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States – a place where you
can tour the park with a ranger, photograph birds, take an afternoon hike, spot alligators basking in the sun, or ride an airboat through the
marshes.
Whatever your pleasure, you’ll be sure to find it in Naples, at our 25th Annual Summer Conference on Obstetrics & Gynecology.
