Welcome

The Sheraton Sand Key Resort Clearwater Beach Resort will be the conference host site for 2019. This Hotel is conveniently located on one of the most highly rated beaches in the US, and is close to the University of South Florida campus, on the west coast of Florida, and has direct shuttle contact with the Tampa International Airport, located about 20 miles away; and the Busch Gardens Theme Park and Tampa and Clearwater Aquariums. The newly renovated spacious Sheraton, which will host the opening Banquet and Keynote Humes Lecture on Sunday night, and the Invited Talks and poster sessions, and the Registration Desk, has beautiful conference facilities. There are nicely furnished rooms and suites being held for conference attendees at a very reasonable, reduced rate.  

Clearwater Beach named 'Best Beach in America' for second year in a row
