It's almost here! In just a few short days, NEDRA will converge on Portsmouth for two days of learning, networking, memories, inspiration, and--oh yes--karaoke. If you're going to be joining us, please remember to bring with you some visual memories of the "old days," whether that's a picture from your first conference, an old copy of "Who's Who," or presentation materials from before the dawn of the PowerPoint age.

We hope that you'll join us for the Conference Reception sponsored by iWave on Thursday evening at the Portsmouth Gas Light! This is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow attendees better, and to have some fun while networking. Later that night, we'll be having our private, NEDRA-only karaoke session in the same location. Don't forget to pack your leg warmers, acid-washed jeans, crimping iron, and color block sweaters: the karaoke session will have a 1980s theme in honor of the year of our founding, and 80s dress-up is highly encouraged! (I am PERSONALLY encouraging it. Please don't let me be the only one rocking a side ponytail and far too much blush!) 

While you're at the conference, don't forget to share your experiences on social media, using the hashtag #NEDRAcon2017!
