POSTPONED: 2020 OCRA Annual Conference
TENTATIVELY RESCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 11-13, 2020
Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris, Westerville, OH
2020 ANNUAL CONFERENCE HAS BEEN TENTATIVELY RESCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 11-13, 2020 (official announcement coming mid April 2020)
CELEBRATE 100 YEARS OF OCRA IN 2020!
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:
- Contact registered attendees, vendors, speakers, and guests of the 2020 Annual Conference to ensure that this notice of postponement has been received by all affected (You may receive multiple notifications. We apologize for any inconvenience that may cause.)
- Work with the Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris with the goal of rescheduling the Annual Conference as quickly as permitted by law, if possible
- Process refunds of all registrations, sponsorships, raffle ticket purchases, etc. (Please note that we will not begin processing refunds until Monday, March 23, 2020.)
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!
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS AND VENDORS
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS AND VENDORS! ALTHOUGH OUR 2020 ANNUAL CONFERENCE HAS BEEN POSTPONED, WE COULDN'T HAVE PLANNED OUR CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION WITHOUT YOU.
Please note that refunds of all registrations, sponsorships, raffle ticket purchases, etc. will begin being processed the week of March 23, 2020
