TRC's 31st Annual Conference-Canceled

Recycling and Shifting Gears

Park Vista Hotel Gatlinburg, Tennessee

After careful and thorough consideration, TRC's Board of Directors has decided to cancel this year's 2020 conference. Our board held several meetings filled with discussion and input from various sources including feedback from our recent member survey to reach this decision. Out of an abundance of caution for everyone's safety, we believe this is the best decision at this time to cancel the 2020 conference. We already have next year's conference scheduled and on the books for August 24-26, 2021 in Gatlinburg at the Park Vista hotel. More details to come soon about next year's conference.
