This event is
a must for anyone with a serious interest in shaping the future of
the Suri industry.
We have again put together an incredible power-packed program as you
will see by the agenda.
So you may be
asking yourself, "What’s the big deal and why should I attend?"
Following are some comments from last year’s event and why you won’t
want to miss this year’s event!
The fleece show was excellent. Freda & Carl did a
wonderful job on organizing the show.
Good topic selection – speakers were certainly
well prepared and expert in their topics.
Mary Lou Clingan’s presentation was outstanding:
informative and amusing.
Great conference! Learned a lot! Perhaps need a
few more breaks or longer ones.
An outstanding symposium. All excellent info.
What a refreshing variety – all pertinent topics.
Brett Kaysen is a valuable resource – keep him
involved.
The stuff on latest research on luster was
fantastic.
Very rewarding and worth the attendance.
Super well organized symposium with blue ribbon
speakers.
I am very pleased to have had the opportunity to
attend the symposium and I hope to be in the next one.
This was by far the most interesting and best run
conference I’ve been to. I didn’t feel like there was any dead
time the whole weekend – very unusual.
This is a great location, easy to get to,
historically significant.
It’s been a great event. Glad I came.
Excellent event!! Well worth attending!
Thanks for all the hard work – the other 600
folks missed a treat.
The conference was very
well organized. It felt like the old AOBA Conferences. Ken and
Marsha do an
excellent job. They are organized, professional and
most importantly, personal.
We also invite
you, our attendees, to be a vendor as well as a participant this
year. Suri Network members can add onto your registration fee
$100.00 (add $40.00 for an additional table; maximum 2 tables per
farm) to have a 6 ft. skirted table/chair around the perimeter of
the meeting room. This is on a first-come first-served basis and is
limited to the amount of space available. There is also advertising
opportunities in the conference notebook this year which was not
available last year. Please see the registration form for
advertising opportunities.
Please, come
early or stay after the event to enjoy the beautiful Colorado
Rockies! Friday will be a "free" afternoon for you to enjoy the
area. Hope to see you there!
