2010 RFP Annual General Meeting, Workshop & Trade Show Red Deer Lodge - Red Deer, Alberta, April 25-28, 2010 Nominations | Hotel | Sponsorships | Exhibitors | Conference Program | Register Now! | 2011 Conference Bids
33rd ANNUAL R.F.P. CONFERENCE! 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.     Hotel Information - PDF REGISTER NOW! To make things nice and easy for you, we are once again accepting registrations through our website! Just complete our handy Online Registration Form and we'll do the rest!     Register Here SPONSORS The Board and Staff of RFP have been working on a Sponsorship Package for quite some time now and we’re very excited to be able to offer our dedicated Associate Members the first chance to take advantage of this Introductory Offer.     Sponsorship Opportunities - PDF EXHIBITORS The Recreation Facility Personnel Trade Show is our only parks and recreation trade show opportunity for you in 2010 to meet facility supervisors, operators, and workers.
