Important Health & Safety Update (COVID-19)

September 15, 2020

After much consideration for the health and safety of our attendees, we have decided to cancel our in-person event. Please keep a lookout for a full registration refund within the next three weeks. We hope to see you in 2021!

March 25, 2020

To keep our members, speakers, exhibitors, and all other ADRP supporters safe and healthy during this time, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year's Southeast Donor Relations Conference until the fall. We have confirmed Thursday, November 12, 2020 for our new date.

If you had already registered for SEDRCyou have a couple options: 

  • Refund your registration. Contact the ADRP office via email and we will issue you a full refund.
  • Keep your registration. If you still plan to attend SEDRC 2020, ADRP will hold your registration for you.

In any event, SEDRC registrants up to this point can receive a complete refund with no administrative fee now or later.

Thank you for your support of ADRP. We wish you good health and safety during this time.
