By Stephanie Date, RETA Marketing & Events Manager

The 2021 RETA National Conference is just over six months out! We are all excited to get back to a normal annual Conference. With everyone playing it safe and the number of COVID-19 cases trending downward, the Conference Team at HQ and the National Conference Planning Committee are busy planning for a safe and memorable in-person event. So, mark your calendars, pack your sweaters and parkas for November 9-11, 2021 at the Renaissance Schaumburg in Illinois. Our “Call for Abstracts” has been closed and the technical papers submitted have been reviewed and graded by our Technical Committee. There were many very well thought out Technical Topics, that made the grading process rigorous. I am excited to announce our Technical Topics for 2021: Compliance Topics • Applying IIAR 6 to Your Facility: Apply and UseWhat You Already Have • Best Practices for Minimizing Ammonia System Hazards Through Your PSM Program • What to Know Before Your Next Regulatory Audit Management Topics • Keep Your Cool in an Unpredictable World with Digitized Assets
