Be Prepared for Weather Changes—Dress in Layers
Since the temperatures may get high outside and sessions will be air-conditioned inside, dressing in layers is strongly advised.

Press Passes
An approved publication’s representative may receive a press pass for one day of the conference. This entitles the representative to attend sessions for one day only without charge, excluding practical lab. Contact the Conference Office for prior approval (303-756-8380). Press passes do not include meal tickets.

Continuing Education
Continuing-Education credits are recognized for all sessions except the evening programs. Calculated on an hour-for-hour basis, the breakdown is up to 7 hours for the Saturday Program; up to 18 hours for the Main Conference; up to 8 hours for Tuesday (AAV practical labs or special sessions.) By registering for the maximum number of courses, you can earn up to 33 hours of credit—this total may change prior to the conference if cancellations are made. Attention Diplomats: Each hour of ABVP-sponsored, continuing-education points earned will count for more points toward your re-certification. AAV Avian master classes are ABVP-sponsored. A continuing-education form will be provided in your packet.

Members not attending may purchase the Proceedings flash drive through the Publications Office after the conference.
