33rd ANNUAL R.F.P. CONFERENCE!
The theme for this year's Conference is Recognizing our Roots.Your 2010 Conference Committee has been very busy, since before the 2009 conference, planning an extravaganza next year in Red Deer. Be prepared for some innovative new sessions, some really great activities and some new additions to the conference program!

We hope to have the program posted online by Jan. 1st so keep checking this page for more information.

As we did last year, we'd like to encourage the Exhibitors to book their rooms at another hotel because of the fact that most only stay one night and that eliminates availability for delegates who book for 3 nights. We have secured a great rate from the Ramada which is directly beside the Lodge.

DELEGATE'S HOTEL
Delegates can book hotel rooms now at the Red Deer Lodge. The following are the special conference rates they have given our delegates, but these rates are only guaranteed until March 26, 2010.

Look Who's Coming!
The 2010 Exhibitor Package went out to members in November and registrations have been pouring in ever since. We are also happy to report that we've had several Associate Members take advantage of our Sponsorship opportunities and we would like to extend our thanks to them for their ongoing support.

We are now officially SOLD OUT! As of February 26, 2010, the following Associate Members have registered for the 33rd Annual Trade Show in Red Deer on Monday, April 26, 2010. The Exhibitor Pkg is available online here as well as the Sponsorship Pkg. We will now be assigning booths, and place companies so they are not near competitors. If you have any questions about the Trade Show or Conference, please don't hesitate to contact the RFP Office at 1-888-253-7544.
