Resources for Infant Educarers: 31st Annual RIE® Conference

31st Annual RIE® Conference Postponement

It is with great regret that we announce the postponing of the RIE® 31st Annual Infant and Toddler conference due to the current Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak. We are working hard to find a date to reschedule the conference as we are very excited about our keynote speaker, Dr. Judyth Weaver, and all the wonderful workshops.

We regret having to make this decision, but we are following the California state guidance on convenings and meetings and out of respect for our speakers, presenters and attendees and their families, we believe this is the correct course of action.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through these difficult times.
