Lunch

Lunch reservations are now closed. If you pre-ordered lunch, you will pay for it ($12) when you check in.

Casselman's is also allowing attendees to bring their own lunches if they choose to. It is highly recommended that you purchase lunch or bring your own because you do not want to be late for the start of the afternoon session, and there aren't any restaurants very close to the venue.

Parking

Parking is only available on the street. Last year, we hosted an event at Casselman's with 250 attendees, and there were no issues with parking. It is recommended that you arrive early if you want a good spot and to allow yourself enough time to check in, pay for lunch and find a seat.

This event is open to the public and is limited to 250 RSVPs. It is listed on the calendar for our Colorado Springs, Denver and Pueblo chapters.

Attendees will have the opportunity to visit with these vendors during breaks and lunch as well as before and after the program.

Refunds

Due to the amount of money it is costing to host this event, refunds will not be possible. There is a set cost to renting the venue, and CPLG may end up paying part of the bill if we do not get enough RSVPs to cover this amount. If you find that your plans change, you may transfer your RSVP to someone else or donate your spot to another person who would like to attend. It is your responsibility to change your RSVP if you cannot be there. You will have to notify us if you transfer your RSVP so we can keep track of our attendee list.

Volunteers

Volunteers will be needed to make name tags, confirm RSVPs and assist with check-in. A meeting either July 29th or 30th asking for help from volunteers.
