Super Convention Schedule
Members of the Super Convention Committee have set the schedule for the February 9-13 Convention, which will be held at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. Please visit www.thesuperconvention.com for details of the convention and hotel arrangements. For those who have tried unsuccessfully to make room reservations for Tuesday, February 9, this block has now been expanded and rooms are available.
We look forward to a week of education, entertainment and bringing all four associations (AHHS AMHA ASHA, UPHA) together to map out the future of the equine industry as it relates to all sectors of these associations.
