Prior year attendees have been impressed with the quality of topics and speakers, combined with a low cost destination served by airlines, and offering low cost transportation. This type of seminar is an excellent opportunity for both business and personal networking not available through other CPE delivery mediums.

REST 2018 will offer an excellent opportunity to earn approximately 22 hours of CPE.

Two tracks to choose from in Accounting, Finance, Management, Professional Development, and much more.
