IMPORTANT ARF 2024 CONFERENCE UPDATE
We are excited to announce that, despite multiple hurricanes necessitating a venue change, the 2024 American Reading Forum Conference will be held at the Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte Harbor, Florida. This brand-new resort has multiple pools and restaurants. We think members will be very pleased with this location—and thrilled that ARF 2024 is moving forward! The room rates at Sunseeker $199.00 per night for a standard double, or $239.00 per night for a harbor view, inclusive of the resort fee. The cut-off date for room block reservations is November 18. Book your room on Sunseeker's website, or call 1-833-914-7300 to reserve your room with reference to the American Reading Forum room block.
