Tell Us About Your RECongress Experiences

It has only been a week since RECongress 2020 and if you attended — and haven't already done so — please share your comments by taking our survey. We have put a great deal of effort into planning our event and we need to know how effective it has been. We would especially like to hear from you if you would give an "excellent" or a "poor" rating.

There is a survey for Youth Day here as well a survey for each day of our Adult Days. You can take the survey from Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

Our RECongress YouTube Channel Plays On
Each year we livestream our Arena (English) events and Hall B (Spanish) events. If you didn't get a chance to watch the sessions live, you can always watch them online for free. You can find links to our YouTube Channel off our RECongress/live page where you can find Youth Day and Adult Days videos, including evening concerts, workshops, lunchtime entertainment and so much more.
