Keynote Speaker, Jim Knight kicks off our Tuesday Business Meeting and Lunch with Culture That Rocks!

So much learning and fun is waiting for you at RETA 2023! Swing in to our TopGolf Networking event on Monday at noon for a chance to birdie up to some new contacts or simply connect with old friends. TopGolf is not your typical golf tournament, so you don’t have to be a “golfer” to join in the fun. Come on out, have some fun, and enjoy the afternoon. You won’t want to miss our Monday Night Out event at the Autobahn Indoor Raceway. Catch a ride on the provided shuttle transportation and join us for a fast filled night racing, ax throwing and playing some good old-fashioned video arcade games, all while enjoying the moment with the rest of the RETA Family. Race around the track or make a pit stop for a little food. If racing doesn’t excite you, maybe a

Jacksonville Icemen Hockey game will! Watch the Icemen skate across the Guts of the Ice chasing the biscuit to the net. Score a chance for some excitement in the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena on Wednesday Night. Transportation provided. America’s Got Talent Stunt Comedian, Max Winfrey, will wrap up Awards Night on Thursday with his fun filled show! Not only do we have fun, on-stage entertainment, and a RETA After Hours Lounge, but we are holding our 2nd Annual Exhibitor & Sponsor Awards.
