The INARF Annual Conference continues to evolve in 2026, bringing all audiences together for a dynamic two-and-a-half-day experience. The conference opens with the INARF Opening Awards Celebration and wraps up with Best Practices Sessions that foster peer-to-peer learning among professionals in similar roles from across the state. In between, attendees engage in a variety of one-hour educational sessions, explore the Expo Hall between sessions and during lunch, shop unique hand-crafted items from Artisan Exhibitors, and connect with vendors offering innovative products and services. Casual conversation and meaningful networking are woven throughout the event, highlighted by Tuesday evening’s Annual Conference Reception.
