Grab a drink, a snack and make plans to enjoy this open time with your peers – the CSRT’s virtual platform will be the perfect spot to facilitate your conversations.

Take a Trip Around the World

May 7, 2021

It’s been a tough year, so take a well-deserved escape to some far away destinations with the CSRT! You will have the opportunity to sojourn virtually in several amazing locations around the globe where you will delight in the local sights, sounds, and tastes. So, what will it be: will you take a tour in Ireland, learn a new language in Kenya, or satisfy your inner foodie in Argentina? Or perhaps try all three?

Thank you to all our delegates and sponsors for participating in our first ever virtual conference and making it a great success. Planning and communication for our future conference will begin Fall 2021.
