As you know, the 2020 MWERA conference was postponed due to Covid-19. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Our 2020 conference would have been held in Cincinnati, Ohio from
<b>October 21st-23rd</b>. To stay connected and gather together (albeit virtually), we will be offering one session each of the three days (Wednesday through Friday) during the original October conference dates. </span></div>
