Annual Convention

 
Join your KFC friends and family for the 2012 AKFCF Convention February 1-4 in San Antonio, Texas.   The beautiful Grand Hyatt on the River Walk will be our hotel home and the trade show is being held at the San Antonio Convention Center, which is connected to the hotel and actually CLOSER than many exhibit halls we've used in the past that are within the hotel proper.
 
 
Be prepared for some changes ... this is NOT the same convention agenda you've seen in the past.  It won't be a "been there, done that" experience in 2012!
 
 
 
A unique and beautiful city, San Antonio is hosting our convention for the first time.  Plan on taking advantage of the free evenings to enjoy the many delicious restaurants within a short stroll down the River Walk or a ride on a River Taxi.  Great shopping, outdoor adventures, historic sites, and more are destination highlights.
 
 
 
The Grand Hyatt is a great location as "home base" for your adventures!  Featuring warm hospitality, bold touches, and modern amenities, the Hyatt is a state-of-the-art hotel in a perfect setting. Our negotiated room rate is $229/night which includes complimentary internet access.  Click here to make your hotel reservations or call 402-592-6464 and identify yourself as an attendee to the AKFCF Convention to get this excellent rate at the host hotel.
