The Restoration Industry Association’s 63rd Annual “Solutions” Convention & Exhibition, March 12-14, grabbed the reins and took off at a full gallop Wednesday with a full day of pre-conference courses, the annual membership meeting, the new member/first time attendee reception and more.

The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, provides the backdrop for this year’s gathering. RIA always produces a first-class event, and this year is shaping up to be among the best ever.

Thursday morning, keynote speaker Kelly McDonald will take to the podium to discuss “How to be a Latino-Ready and Latino-Friendly Employer: Insights you’re your Hispanic Workplace.”
