Note Regarding COVID-19/Coronavirus

We continue to closely monitor the coronavirus outbreak as the health, safety and well-being of the RIA community is our highest priority. RIA will continue to actively assess the situation and distribute further information and updates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization.

RIA is tracking all travel restrictions issued by the U.S. Department of State and will follow the advice of the World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Florida Department of Health. 

Pre-Meeting Guidance

Travel

Attendees should closely monitor all travel alerts issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Attendees are encouraged to monitor the CDC website for additional information and review and follow the WHO’s Travel Advice, as well as its recommendations for protecting themselves from infection.

Participants should check their individual airlines for specific cancellation/refund policies. RIA will not be responsible for any airline cancellation or change fees should you be unable to attend for any reason.

All participants should monitor their wellness and access whether they are experiencing any symptoms before traveling.

The RIA Board of Directors recognizes the desire for the industry to come together in-person to make connections and learn. RIA and our convention partners are committed to implementing processes to promote safety precautions and follow best practices in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The list below outlines some of the key measures that will be implemented onsite at the convention venue.
