Asheville, NC
| May 14th - 16th, 2021
April 6, 2021: I just wanted to update you on our Asheville seminar. Many locations are starting to reopen and we have been closely working with the Omni Grove Park Inn in the recent days to ensure that they will have all the necessary safety protocols in place prior to our arrival.
I would recommend that you click thru to see what to expect while in Asheville.
It has been a very intense and stressful last year, so we are very excited to finally start to return to our passion: providing practical CE in great locations.
Regarding the seminars: we will be following strict social distancing and mask requirements.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely
