Fun Fact: As if Long Beach, California, host to IAFP 2024, doesn't have enough attractions to enjoy, it also boasts of weather that is nearly perfect year-round. With its Mediterranean climate, the city has approximately 345 days of sunshine a year and averages 74 degrees Fahrenheit. From June through August, warm temperatures and gentle ocean breezes make for an unforgettable visit. Annual Meeting attendees have a perfect excuse to hold an impromptu meeting on a nearby patio and soak up that Vitamin D! But you'll still want a light jacket for those chilly conference rooms! #funfactfriday #IAFP2024
