Cape Cod, the first region in the Americas to be settled by Europeans, has long been the get-away for New Englanders and, today, has a world-wide reputation for recreation, relaxation and natural beauty. 

A short drive from Boston, the Cape boasts more than 500 miles of ocean beaches and sand dunes, the region’s freshest seafood and some of the nation’s most scenic golf courses.  The Cape’s beaches have a storied role as a place of contemplation for thinkers and writers, such as Henry David Thoreau, and leaders such as John F. Kennedy, making it the ideal location for the Emptoris Empower 2008. 

Your home in Cape Cod is the Ocean Edge Resort, one of New England's largest and most highly-rated resorts.  Ocean Edge Resort boasts a 700-foot private beach on Cape Cod Bay, country club-style accommodations, four outdoor pools and two indoor pools, and premier golf and tennis amenities.  With average Cape Cod highs temperatures of 71° F/ 22° C in early Fall, you’ll be sure to enjoy great outdoor recreation and relaxation along with your conference experience.

"The sea-shore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world."

– Henry David Thoreau from
   his book “Cape Cod”
