This year marks CANA’s 106th Annual Cremation Innovation Convention, and we could not be more thrilled to attend. This convention is a cornerstone for our industry, bringing together an incredible community of peers from across North America, all in the beautiful city of Chicago. Not only does this event offer an opportunity to connect with like-minded peers, but it also fosters a space where innovation thrives.
Over the course of this three-day event, there are several informative sessions hosted by industry experts that are sure to leave attendees inspired. Though there are many amazing learning opportunities, here are three sessions we won’t be missing:
Lee Hovermale | September 12th | 1:30pm-2:30pm
About: In today's digital age, the threat of a personal or business cyberattack looms over all of us. Take a proactive stance against cyber threats and learn how to identify phishing attacks and malware schemes so you will be better prepared to safeguard your data. This session will empower you with information you can use to navigate the online world securely and protect yourself and your company.
As more industry services move online, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be understated. Navigating the world of cybersecurity can be challenging, but staying informed and adopting robust security solutions is essential to keeping the data of your business, and the families you serve, safe.
At Cadence, we are dedicated to protecting our business, our partners, and the families they serve from cyber threats. Having recently achieved SOC 2 compliance, we have implemented stringent internal protocols and utilize bank-level 256-bit encryption for data storage and transmission. With Lee’s expertise, this session is sure to offer valuable insights that further enhance our practices and allow us to stay ahead of the curve.

Kelly Manion | September 13th | 10:30am-11:30am
About: Prepare to elevate your brand to the next level! In this dynamic session, you will gain valuable insights into the diverse ways people, including yourself, experience grief, and how to support people who are grieving. You’ll also learn how to integrate grief support into your aftercare program, positioning your firm as a cornerstone of compassion and comfort within your community.
As a grief-informed continuation of care service, this session could not hit more close to home. After an arrangement, families are not only faced with the heaviness of grief, but also lengthy end-of-life administrative tasks. Providing families with guided support can make all the difference, both in their grief journey and the reputation of your business.
At Cadence, we help deathcare businesses implement or enhance a continuation of care model by supporting families with the logistical and emotional challenges that come with loss. Attending this session will continue to inspire our mission of ensuring that all families feel supported after a loss.
Whether in a session or at our booth, we cannot wait to reconnect with our peers and meet many more amazing professionals. At this years’ convention, you will find two of our incredible team members, Hannah Mason and Kayleigh Feschuk, representing Cadence as an exhibitor.
Be sure to stop by our booth to chat with the team, discuss the day’s sessions, or learn more about how Cadence supports you and the families you serve.
