APCA Golf Tournament 1:30 - 6:30 pm Saltleaf Golf Preserve is adjacent to the resort and offers both an 18-hole championship golf course called the Preserve and a 9-hole par 3 walking course named the Leaf. Between the hawks, osprey, deer, and the lush native plantings everywhere you look, the Preserve course brings a whole new meaning to “keep your eye on the ball.” Built on the site of the former Raptor Bay Golf Club, this all-new destination course will continue a respectful co-existence with a 144-acre Florida uplands preserve and adjacent Estero Bay, Florida’s very first aquatic preserve. All this quiet beauty comes with challenges and fun, thanks to the inspired design of legendary Raymond Floyd and exceptional Troon management. A four-time major champion, designer Raymond Floyd has continued his trademark embrace of natural habitat. The course has naturally exposed sandy areas with no formal bunkers, minimally altered terrain, high-performance grasses like TifEagle and Bimini Bermuda, abundant lakes, rolling terrain, and profound quiet. The signature second hole features a drivable par 4. The Preserve’s challenging design will test every club in your bag. $375 includes cart, Saltleaf logo hat, box lunch & taxes. Rental clubs: $75 including tax. Free Night 6:30 pm Be sure to make reservations early at one of the area’s fabulous restaurants. The Bonita Springs and Estero neighborhoods have something for everyone. From dry aged and Wagyu steaks at Chops City Grill to seafood at Tarpon Bay to small plate sharable fare at The Bohemian Restaurant, casual waterfront dining at Coconut Jack’s Waterfront Grill, upscale Hawaiian at Roy’s Restaurant, to fine Italian dining at Angelina’s Restaurant. You’ll always find a spot to satisfy your appetite and match your mood, and when you prefer to dine in privacy, the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point catering team is eager to provide service to your room for an everyday meal or a special occasion.

Pipeline Construction Market – Born to Run! 9 - 10:15 am Bruce Springsteen might have said it best in his 1975 release, “Born to Run.” Today, we are beginning a wave of pipeline construction activity that will persist until at least the end of the Trump administration. As we exit the “death trap” of the Biden administrate, the Springsteen line “Together we could break this trap, we’ll run till we drop, baby we’ll never go back” is all we hope for. Recent forecasts describe the potential for $50 billion or 8,800 miles of pipeline construction activity through 2030, driven by surging natural gas demand, record LNG exports, growing data center energy needs, and supportive regulatory shifts under President Trump. Merit shop contractors, and more specifically the APCA members, are perfectly positioned to capture this wave of activity. In this session, we will explore the type of work forecast and where it is likely to take place, and we will help APCA members position their firms to Run. Again, The Boss may have said it best: “We’re gonna get to that place where we really want to go and we’ll walk in the sun.” Baby, APCA members are Born to Run! Preliminary Schedule
