The CMSA Houston/Gulf Coast Education Committee has determined the 25th CMSA Houston/Gulf Coast Conference will be postponed until Thursday, January 18, 2017. The event will still be held at the Sugar Land Marriott and at this time the agenda is being reviewed. Once all of the speakers have an opportunity to check their schedules for the re-booking an updated agenda will be sent out.
For anyone that made a hotel reservation for the night of September 20th, those reservations have been moved to Wednesday, January 17, 2018.
The registration website will be updated by early next week. The www.HoustonCMSA.org website will reflect the new dates and updated agenda as soon as possible. We will continue to accept registrations for exhibitors, sponsors and attendees starting September 5, 2017.
The needs in and around Houston for your neighbors, family and friends are great. Over the next few months efforts to get things back to “normal” will be trying and stressful. Please consider volunteering or donating to help those who have lost everything.
