The California Rental Association has cancelled its Rental Rally Tradeshow 2021, which had been scheduled for January 25-27, 2021 at the South Point Casino Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

     “With the new Nevada health guideline, capacities have dropped to 50 persons,” CRA executive director Jeff Roberts wrote in an email to CRA members. “December 15, 2020 would be our next update making that too close for the event to pull together in a timely and efficient manner.”

     Roberts said CRA is moving forward with plans for a virtual tradeshow. Virtual booths will sell for $485 each. Attendees will be free. The virtual tradeshow will be live for 30 days, beginning Jan. 26, 2021. CRA will be providing more information on the virtual tradeshow shortly on www.calrental.org.

     CRA will also be posting information on its planned Diamond Jubilee Gala, celebrating 75 years of the CRA.
