2004 CONFERENCE INFO
The 2004 conference was held June 2-4, 2004, at the Great Divide Lodge in Breckenridge, Colorado.

The registration fee of $140.00 covered tuition, conference materials, a CARI Directory (provided by Loomis, Fargo & Co.) and a certificate of completion. Door prizes, donated by many retail businesses, were given away during breaks. Two handguns (provided by Bantek West and CARI) were given away on the last day of the conference.

CARI provided a continental breakfast daily (courtesy of King Soopers and Safeway), lunch on Wednesday and Thursday (provided by CARI), and a dinner at the awards banquet on Wednesday evening (also provided by CARI).

A hospitality suite (sponsored by Budweiser, 7-11 and 3CI Security Systems), open to attendees Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, provided not only a place to relax after the days activities, but an opportunity to network with robbery investigators and loss prevention personnel from around the country.
