Our main focus for the 2020 NREDA Annual Conference is YOU: 

  • Your time is valuable. The time-zone friendly schedule includes reduced sessions so you don’t have to take an entire day out of the office.
  • High-quality education is priority. The conference includes the same high-quality education you receive at live NREDA conferences.
  • Cost is a thing. Let’s face it, COVID hit hard in so many ways! The pocket-book is just one of them. The conference price reduces a barrier for attending and you don’t have to budget for travel and hotel!
  • Networking is a must. NREDA is offering networking that helps you connect, or reconnect, with like-minded peers. It’s also offering the same great rate to nonmembers in an effort to extend NREDA’s reach even further!
