INARF Pre & Annual Conference has been Cancelled

INARF has cancelled all INARF member events scheduled through March 20, including the Pre-Conference, Annual Conference, Annual Meeting of the Members, and the Annual Awards scheduled to be held March 17-19. In the event you have a hotel reservation with the Embassy Suites Noblesville, you will need to contact them directly (317-674-1900) to cancel your reservations on or before close of business Friday, March 13.

INARF continues to be focused on the health and safety of our members, individuals you support, and your staff. A few moments ago, Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb announced additional steps the state of Indiana will take to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Indiana. Included in those steps was a prohibition on non-essential gatherings of more than 250 people. Specific in his examples were meetings and conferences.

At this time, we are assessing alternative methods to deliver the content of these events to our members and Conference stakeholders. We will provide additional details regarding the cancellation of the Conference over the next few weeks.
