This year, Rhode Island is very proud to be the host of the RNC Regional Leadership Conference, which will occur from Friday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 5th, at the Marriott Hotel on America’s Cup Boulevard, in Newport.

If you have not already registered, you can register “at the door” on Friday afternoon.
