The 2020 OCRA Annual Conference was scheduled to be held March 27-29, 2020, at the Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris

On March 13, the OCRA Board of Directors announced the postponement of the OCRA 2020 Annual Conference.

Based upon the Ohio Department of Health’s March 12 Director’s Order limiting and/or prohibiting mass gatherings in the state of Ohio of 100 or more persons, and as a result of the overwhelming concerns regarding coronavirus (COVID-19), the OCRA Board of Directors has determined that the 2020 Annual Conference – OCRA’s Centennial Celebration – must be postponed.

As this is a recent occurrence, details must still be worked through with the Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris to determine when a rescheduled conference can take place. Unfortunately, the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the hospitality industry, and many entities are treading through uncharted waters.

We ask for your patience as we work through the next steps of official postponement of the 2020 Annual Conference.  In the coming week, OCRA will:

Please remember to cancel your overnight accommodations at the Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris at least 72 hours prior to your check-in date by calling 833.427.0292.

Finally, thank you for your continued support of your OCRA and our profession at this time.  We are Ohio Family.  We are Ohio Strong.  We are Ohio Proud!
