The RIOA welcomes you to participate in NTG'26.
For those new to it, it's simple.
Commit one weekend in March towards garnering a very healthy head start on the continuing credits you need for your license renewal. Come the summer and autumn months and you'll be glad to spend an early March weekend with us!
Over the years, NTG attendees have counted on the RIOA CE Committee to identify thoughtful, timely and accredited education in a relaxed setting. Each year is better than the last.
This one will be no different. Actually it will be. We're always looking to improve the NTG experience! A quick reminder - jeans are still encouraged! It's a weekend in March afterall!
The FULL NTG'26 Program includes March 7, 2026 (7 hours in-person), March 8, 2026 (4 hours, remote) and March 11, 2026 (2 hours, remote).

- Saturday (In-Person) + Wednesday (remote)
