A NOTE FROM DPHA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, REBEKAH COVAY

2020 sure has been a year for the history books. The world has suffered losses, a worldwide push for equality and the closing of many businesses across the globe. This year the DPHA Conference + Showcase will look a little different, but we will offer the connection, education and push forward into the new business climate we have all been craving.

Safety has been in my every fiber since COVID-19 started, as I am one of the faces of those that are high risk. We are going above and beyond the protocol of national, local and hotel recommendations in regards to social distancing and member safety. Meals will look a bit different, showcase will look a bit different, but that does not mean you won’t walk out of this year’s conference with the same benefits of previous years when we could see everyone’s smiling faces.

• DPHA has been able to secure 200% more space to hold our educational sessions and meals at the Hyatt Regency.
• Our meals will be incorporating the safest food prep protocols available and tables spaced with minimal seats per table.
• DPHA has made each exhibitor booth twice their previous sizes to host a holding area, so that product and business strategies can be done more safely.
• This year a mask will be required while attending any of the sessions and showcase (regardless of what our preselected conference tagline may state).

DPHA membership has proven to be a community that supports one another through the most difficult of times. The 2020 Conference will offer the chance to bring us all together to support, lift and build our businesses into the future. Conference will allow you the chance to cherish the partnerships, relationships and support that was offered through this turbulent year and the ability to celebrate the survival and beginning of the better business strategies found in all of us.

For those of you that won’t be able to make the trip, we have something a little extra in the digital realm that we will be sharing with you very soon!
