NAREE 2020 Goes Virtual
/NAREE's 54th Annual Real Estate Journalism Conference is going virtual. It will be held online on Wednesday, December 9 and Thursday, December 10 from 11 AM EST to 6 PM EST each day.
The board voted to change the conference from an in-person meeting to an on-line conference because of ongoing travel restrictions stemming from health and safety concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
