TRSA is altering skilled improvement and the convention plan for the remainder of 2020

NORTH AMERICA
During the late spring and summer, TRSA shifted its professional development and networking opportunities from personal to virtual platforms due to the Covid 19 pandemic. On its way to fall and taking stock of the ongoing impact of the pandemic on our industry, public health and travel, TRSA has decided to cancel several events and to virtually host others for the rest of 2020.

On July 15, TRSA hosted the 3rd Annual Leadership Summit as a virtual event and introduced a new hosting platform that offers an improved user experience in terms of participation, networking and collaboration. The success of this program underscored our goals of delivering high quality professional development experiences despite the physical limitations that currently apply worldwide.

TRSA will continue to offer regular webinars on key issues in our industry, core competencies and best practices. In addition, these virtual events are in the autumn calendar and offer live keynotes, workshops, breakouts and interactive panels via our new hosting platform:

• TRSA Virtual Marketing and Sales Summit from November 17-18, 2020
• TRSA Virtual Healthcare Conference, 1-3 December 2020

TRSA's 107th Annual Conference, originally scheduled for October in Alexandria, VA, has been canceled. Lifetime Achievement and Industry Award winners will be recognized at the 11th Annual TRSA Annual Conference in National Harbor, MD, March 24-25, 2021.

"Our top priority remains the health and safety of everyone who supports TRSA personal events, participants and sponsors, moderators and volunteers of the Task Force, and TRSA employees," said Joseph Ricci, CAE, President and CEO of TRSA. "Although we are disappointed to miss the personal networking and collaboration that is the hallmark of our live events, we're excited about the updated hosting platform, which provides an opportunity for an engaging, important learning experience."
