PRINCETON, N.J. – The 2011 USRowing Annual Convention date and location has been set for December 1-3 in Hartford, Conn. The event is hosted by Riverfront Recapture.

"Riverfront Recapture is very excited to bring the USRowing Convention back to Hartford, Conn., with the help of the Greater Hartford Convention and Visitors Bureau,” said Chris Hayes, Assistant Director of Rowing at Riverfront Recapture. “The 1997 USRowing Convention in Hartford was the largest USRowing Convention to date, and since then, participation in Riverfront Recapture’s rowing programs and all rowing programs across the state have increased significantly. With the support of the northeast rowing community, we hope to share our success stories with a record number of rowers from across the nation."
