The Executive Board is excited to announce that the next American Association for Women Podiatrists (AAWP) Scientific Conference will take place at the Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa in the beautiful city of Fort Myers, Florida. This venue offers a perfect blend of relaxation and learning, providing attendees with a memorable conference experience.
During your stay, take advantage of the resort’s luxurious spa, which features massages, body treatments, and facials. The property also offers a variety of recreational amenities, such as outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, and a sauna. Additional features include concierge services, gift shops/newsstands, and a hair salon to make your experience even more enjoyable.
The Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa is situated in Fort Myers’ Punta Rassa neighborhood, placing you within a 15-minute drive of Key West Express and Sanibel Island Southern Beach. The resort is steps away from both Sanibel Harbour and Sanibel Harbour Beach, making it an ideal location for attendees seeking both education and relaxation.
The conference is scheduled for Friday, October 23 through Sunday, October 25, 2026. Registration is open now! The conference schedule is thoughtfully developed to allow participants ample time for spa treatments, shopping, sightseeing, or other relaxing activities either at the resort or in the surrounding area. This promises to be a refreshing and educational event, and we encourage everyone to take advantage of this unique opportunity. We look forward to welcoming you to Fort Myers for an unforgettable experience with AAWP.
