The registration deadline for RSA Dublin 2022 has been extended to February 15. Our Annual Meeting will be held Wednesday, 30 March 2022 through Saturday, 2 April 2022. You can register for the conference by clicking this link. Please note that strict policies regarding vaccination status, mask-wearing, and social distancing will be in effect at our meeting venues.

Although the pandemic remains a paramount concern, we are not canceling our Annual Meeting at this time. The Irish government has not imposed a ban on international conferences, nor on travel to Ireland (except very selectively), so we are moving ahead with our plans, while at the same time exercising caution and making adjustments to improve everyone’s safety. Write to us in the office with any questions.
