COVID-19 UPDATE
We know you’re concerned about the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). We are, too. We want to be transparent about our plans to keep everyone safe. Since the RCF is scheduled for June, we do not plan to postpone or cancel the conference at this time. We are continuing to accept registrations for attendees. We realize that the current situation is dynamic and we are continually reassessing the best options in regards to attendee health. We are working with the Silver Legacy to ensure that all appropriate steps are taken to provide the highest possible degree of hygiene and safety at our conference. We will communicate any changes or updates on this webpage and directly with registrants.

Location
Reno is a high desert landscape set against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Reno has experienced an economic growth spurt that has rebooted it with boutique hotels, craft breweries and a thriving art scene. The area is an outdoor lover’s paradise with hiking, mountain biking, rafting and more just minutes from downtown. Lake Tahoe (located just 30 minutes from downtown Reno) is known for the clarity of its water and the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains on all sides.
