Join us at The Summit!
CNPA's Board of Directors is excited to be welcoming you to our 2024 Summit. Join us for two days of gathering together to learn and connect!
We are shifting our focus of this year's event to bring our community together. While, as usual, the event will offer a total of 15 CE hours, only 11 hours will be presented live and in-person, and 4 will be available virtually. We have scheduled more opportunities for movement and community-building throughout the weekend, and we hope you'll bring your families along for the fun.
A buffet lunch with plenty of gluten- and casein-free options will be provided for all attendees on Friday and Saturday, and hors d'oeuvres and cocktails will be offered at our Friday evening reception. We are pleased to host our first annual "Going Green Gala" on Saturday evening. Join us for our Vis Awards Ceremony, dinner, and dancing. We'll be seeing green all night!
The Heritage Hotel and Conference Center features the modern amenities you've come to expect, while maintaining that rustic New England charm. Take the day to relax at the on-site spa, featuring massages, waxing, skincare treatments, and more. Looking to do something more active? Get a workout in at The Riverwalk Athletic Club, or take to the greens at The Pomperaug Golf Club; just steps away from the hotel. At the end of the day, grab a bite & a cocktail at The Tavern, the on-site restaurant and bar.
