LADA Cancels the 2020 Annual Convention

Due to the unprecedented health and economic challenges facing our nation and industry, and because nothing is more important than the welfare of our attendees, sponsors, and staff, the LADA Board of Directors has made the tough decision to CANCELthe 2020 Annual Convention. The convention was scheduled for June 10-14, 2020 at The Henderson in Destin, Fl.

This decision was not made lightly, and as we learn more about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the LADA Board of Directors feel this decision is in the best interest of everyone under the current circumstances.

Thank you for your support, patience and understanding. We hope to see you at the 2021 Annual Convention that will be held June 16-20 at The Cloister at Sea Island in Georgia!
