The dates and location of the 9th annual International Bullying Prevention Association's conference have been determined.  It will be held November 4-6, 2012 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kansas City.  Designed as a sister city to Seville, Spain, Kansas City is known as the city of fountains and features old world charm enriched by quaint outdoor parks, museums, shopping, first class dining and entertainment.  The Intercontinental Hotel is located in the heart of Kansas City in the Plaza. The Plaza is an outdoor museum of romantic Spanish architecture and European art where people actually live and work every day amid its beauty. It was designed in 1922 as the nation's first suburban shopping district. Since then, its open-air public art gallery has continuously added to its collection, with fountains, sculptures and murals that bring to the heart of our city the very best of the Old World and the new. The Plaza's popularity and reputation has been recognized around the country.  The entire  15-block area has more than 150 shops and dozens of fine restaurants and entertainment options.

Board member Dr. Agatston is quoted in an article in the Huffington Post:"Cyberbullying is a Serious Problem, but is it an Epidemic?"  The article mentions our 2011 conference in New Orleans.
