Advertiser Staff
The foot doctors just wrapped up one convention here and are already planning to return to Waikiki — twice.
The American Podiatric Medical Association announced that members will once again hold their annual meeting at the Hawai'i Convention Center in 2014 and again in 2021.
They most recently held their event here in July bringing together nearly 3,500 podiatrists and related professionals. Statewide spending was more than $16.5 million generating more than $1.6 million in statewide tax revenue. The Convention Center's hotel partners benefited with over 28,000 rooms booked.
"Our annual meeting experience this summer in Honolulu was tremendous," said Dr. Ross Taubman APMA president. "The city is such a unique destination, offering not only sun, surf and sand, but also a first-class convention center. Our members are already looking forward to 2014 and 2021."
