Every year, AAHPA members come together for our annual conference. Anyone who has been to a conference will attest - it's good people, talking about important and good work. You will learn more than enough to cover the cost of attending through increased savings, efficiency, professional networks and grant opportunities throughout the rest of the year.

Our corporate members rotate the responsibility for hosting the conference. Members can login to see past conference presentations, and all AAHPA awards are available to peruse at any time.

See presentations from the 2017 Petersburg conference (and from past conferences), as well as notes from the Administrative Break-Out session (Available to AAHPA members only).

Administrative Breakout Day - Thursday, October 11, 2018

Successful ports and harbors have strong operations and administrative systems in place. AAHPA exists to serve and promote Alaska's port and harbor infrastructure, and we are looking to expand our networking to include more administrative support! Beginning last year in Petersburg, again in Seward we'll be including an administrative/office breakout day. A draft agenda will be available. In the meantime, please consider attending this important and valuable opportunity to network and learn!

Notes from the 2017 breakout day in Petersburg are on the Members Only section of the website.
