2018 RIA Forensic Restoration Conference Dates Changed

Conference now scheduled for Nov. 15-16 in Cincinnati, Ohio. In order to enhance the overall conference and attendee experience, RIA leadership has made the decision to shift the 2018 Forensic Restoration Conference dates to November 15-16. The Forensic Restoration Conference will still take place in Cincinnati, Ohio, and continue to utilize presentations by industry experts, offer hands-on education and provide networking opportunities. The change in dates will better accommodate the schedules for speakers, sponsors and attendees. Whether you’re a seasoned forensic restoration professional or new to the restoration industry, there’s something for everyone to learn. If you’ve encountered restoration projects following situations like crime and trauma, infectious disease, hoarding or illicit drug labs, this conference is for you.


An Update from Down Under

2018 is looking to be a positive year for RIA in Australia. This year, the council is looking forward to the third RIA event in Australia, which will be bigger and better now that RIA has taken on the responsibility of running the successful yearly Australian restoration conference. As the event is focused on education, RIA will be running two RIA designation courses surrounding the event. Michael Pinto will be running the CMP course for those who have completed the prerequisite courses, and Chris Shoemaker will be running the Building Science Drying course.

You can read the full update from the Australiasian Council at cr.restorationindustry.org.
