2009 Western Robbery Conference

2009 CONFERENCE INFO
The 2009 conference will be held May 27 - May 29, 2009, at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort & Spa in Vail, Colorado.

The registration fee of $190.00 (still the cheapest around) includes tuition, conference materials, a CARI Directory 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.

CARI will provide 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 Coors and 3SI Security Systems), open to attendees Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, will provide 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.
