Nor was I the only person attending for the first time. From the first moment stepping inside the Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta North/Alpharetta, and the first meetings with the various APBA souls, I was made to feel right at home. Surely I would stick out, or maybe even insert my foot inside my mouth. Not sure if all these people who already knew each other, from years and decades of attending the APBA Convention, somehow, I would be the strange face within a close “family” atmosphere that is the annual APBA Convention. The goal is to return in June of 2023 … counting down the days.Īs a first time attendee, I was a little nervous. For 4 days (Thursday thru Sunday), wall to wall good times, not a moment wasted. I had the good fortune of attending my first APBA Convention in June of 2022, in Alpharetta, GA.
