How to Attend GAPA's CME Conferences and Events

Updated

GAPA (Georgia Academy of Physician Associates) hosts an Annual CME Conference and a Summer CME Conference, and you can find dates, locations, and registration or sponsor details through the Events section of gapa.net. The site currently lists the 2027 Summer CME Conference for July 1–3, 2027 at Sandestin Resort in Destin, and notes that the 2026 Annual CME Conference was held in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. If you want to attend, the practical path is: check the Events page for the specific conference, then use the "Learn More" or registration link tied to that event.

What GAPA's CME events are

GAPA's site describes two recurring conference anchors:

  • Annual CME Conference — the 2026 edition took place in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The site thanks attendees and points ahead to Destin for 2027.
  • Summer CME Conference — listed as July 1–3, 2027, at Sandestin Resort, with a "Learn More" link on the event listing.

Both are framed as CME (continuing medical education) events, which is the main reason a practicing PA would attend. The site also lists "Upcoming Events and Activities" as a general category, so smaller activities may appear alongside the conferences.

How to find dates, location, and registration

The Events area is the entry point. From the homepage navigation, the relevant paths are:

  1. Events — general listing of what's happening with GAPA.
  2. CME Conference — the conference-specific page.
  3. Sponsors/Exhibitors — for organizations that want a presence rather than just attendance.
  4. See Full List of Upcoming and Past Events — a link on the homepage event block that expands beyond the featured items.

For the 2027 Summer CME Conference, the homepage block already gives you the three facts you need to plan: start date (July 1, 2027), end date (July 3, 2027), and location (Sandestin Resort). The "Learn More" link on that block is where registration and agenda detail would live.

Attending vs. sponsoring

These are two different tracks, and the site separates them:

Goal Where to look What you get
Attend as a PA or student Events / CME Conference listing Conference dates, location, and a "Learn More" link for details
Exhibit or sponsor Sponsors/Exhibitors A dedicated page for organizations supporting the conference
See everything scheduled "See Full List of Upcoming and Past Events" Full event history and upcoming items

If your question is simply "when and where is the next one," the homepage answers it without a login. If your question is "how do I register," that detail sits behind the individual event's "Learn More" link rather than on the homepage itself.

Practical notes before you plan

  • The 2026 Annual Conference has already happened (Ponte Vedra Beach). Don't plan around it; the forward-looking item on the site is the 2027 Summer Conference in Destin.
  • Destin is the 2027 location, per the site's "See you in Destin for 2027!" heading and the Sandestin Resort listing. Sandestin is a resort property, so lodging and conference venue are likely co-located — worth confirming on the event page.
  • Membership is separate from conference attendance. The site pushes "Join GAPA" and "Become a Member" prominently, and membership has its own benefits, but the conference listings don't state that membership is required to attend. Check the event page for any member/non-member distinction.
  • Contact for questions: [email protected], or the mailing address PO Box 12554, San Antonio, TX 78212, both listed in the site footer.

Where to start

Go to gapa.net, open Events, and look for the CME Conference entry. For the 2027 Summer Conference, confirm the July 1–3 dates and Sandestin Resort location, then follow "Learn More" for registration specifics. If you're representing an organization rather than attending, use the Sponsors/Exhibitors page instead.
