Capitalize your Skills in Music City!

TRID is excited and ready to welcome you to this year's TRID conference in Nashville, TN. This year’s conference will be located at Bridges on June 3-4, 2016. This year we are doing things a little differently; the choice is yours! For each of the three workshop times, you will have two workshops options presented by our very talented and knowledgeable presenters. You will have the opportunity to earn a total of .9 CEUs.

Event

Hearing the sound of a smoke alarm can save lives during a fire, but for those in the deaf and hard of hearing community, it;'s important to take a few extra steps for safety. The Tennessee State Fire Marshal's Office and Johnson City Fire Department will be presenting safety tips at this free workshop. Free smoke alarms with bed shakers will be available to the first Tennessee residents with hearing loss that pre-register.
