The 2008 conference will be held May 27 - May 30, 2008, at the Historic Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

The registration fee of $150.00 includes tuition, conference materials, a CARI Directory (provided by Loomis, Fargo & Co.) and a certificate of completion. Door prizes, donated by many retail businesses, will be given away during breaks. A handgun will be given away on the last day of the conference.
