NPA Returns to Miami Beach for 2005 Convention & Exposition

"We are pleased to be bringing the convention back to Miami Beach, an exciting and vibrant site we haven’t been to since 1961," says NPA Executive Director Marty Stein. "The conference hotel, the Fontainebleau Hilton Resort, is an exceptional location for us. The Fontainebleau, rich in history and visited by every American president since Eisenhower, is legendary, and has graced the Miami Beach landscape for nearly 50 years." The Fontainebleau’s beauty and glamour has attracted many major productions, such as "Goldfinger," "The Bodyguard," and, more recently, HBO’s "The Sopranos."

- Shuttle Bus/Transportation
