VTCA’s Annual Meeting is family-friendly, especially when we are at the beach! As usual, we will offer Camp Hard Hat for kids ages 5-14, our popular Family Beachside Hospitality Suite, and our traditional “Family Breakfast” area for those not attending the business-focused breakfasts.

Mark your calendar and plan to join me and our industry colleagues in Virginia Beach!

A panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean is just the beginning of all you will enjoy during your stay at the Sheraton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Hotel for the VTCA Annual Meeting!

Located on the prestigious northern end of the Boardwalk at 35th and Atlantic, the Sheraton offers a stunning outdoor oceanfront pool, an indoor heated pool, and the Sheraton Fitness Center. Comfortable and spacious accommodations boast the Sheraton Sweet SleeperSM Bed, private balconies, a microwave and a refrigerator. All rooms are smoke free and feature complimentary high speed Wi-Fi.

Whether it’s Blackjack, Texas Hold’em, Craps, Roulette, the Wheel of Fortune, or Indoor Horse Racing, everyone will be placing their bets and cheering on their friends. VTCA will even give you the “Funny Money” to play with. At the end of the evening, turn your winnings into raffle tickets for some great prizes.
