2021 RETA Breeze May-June

On a different note, RETA is seeing the light at the end of the COVID tunnel. We are running full steam ahead in the planning and execution of our RETA annual National Conference this year in Schaumburg, Illinois Nov 9-11, 2021. We are so excited to see everyone face to face once again. It has been a tough year and a half, and we really need this connection. If you are on the fence on whether you would like to sponsor or exhibit at the Conference, please don’t be. On the slim chance we need to make the difficult decision to return to a virtual Conference for one more year, we have a 100% guarantee that all exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees will receive a FULL refund for any monies paid to RETA for the live Conference. We still have some great sponsorship opportunities available so please contact Stephanie at stephanie@reta.com with any questions. We hope to see all of you in Schaumburg this November!
