PARKING

Parking is open to all attendees with no fees nor registration needed. While the hotel does have security and we have requested extra patrol from the Greenwood Village Police Department, we still strongly encourage all attendees to remove all valuables from their vehicles.

CHECK-IN

After parking, please walk through the lobby to check in at our registration table. There, you will pick up your name badge, door prize ticket, program, bag, and forms you need for credits. All licensed applicators will need to pick up a CDA Verification of Continued Education Attendance form for Licensed Private/Qualified Supervisors/Certified Operators (this is the tricolor triplicate form) from the CALCP registration desk.Unlicensed attendees will need to pick up a Verifiable Training Form (single sheet). Please arrive with plenty of time to attend the opening session.

CDA CEC CREDITS & VERIFIABLE TRAINING | ISA CREDITS

When you check-in, you will receive a program, a CDA form for continuing education credits (CECs) or a CDA verifiable training form. You may not need both forms. If you need CECs from the CO Department of Agriculture, you will get that triplicate form initialed at the back of the classroom at the end of each class.

NOTE: Applicators must put their Pesticide Applicator License number in the QS/CO Identification and signature on the top portion of the page one the line "Applicator Signature". CDA no longer uses social security numbers to identify pesticide applicators.

Getting all initials and signatures is ultimately the applicator's responsibility.

Entering sessions late or excusing oneself from sessions for phone calls, bathroom breaks, etc., is reason to have your session attendance verification denied.

CEC monitors will NOT verify attendance for any applicators missing more than 5 minutes of a 30-minute session or 10 minutes of a 60-minute session.
Applicants who challenge the CEC monitor's decision to deny credit will be referred to a CDA Representative.
It is the CDA's sole discretion on whether a CEC will be credited.

An approved CEC Attendance Monitor must (initial) the form after each CEC presentation to verify the applicator's attendance at that session or the CDA will not accept the CEC session as being attended, and NO CECs will be credited to your license. .

ISA Credits:

If you need ISA credits AND CDA credits, you will need to have both the CDA Triplicate form AND the ISA form signed. ISA forms are different forms than the CDA Triplicate form and will be at a separate high top table laid out at the back corner of each ISA session. NOTE: For ISA credits, you will need to bring your ISA Certification Number.

Please note, before you leave the conference, you MUST get the bottom of your triplicate form signed by a CALCP representative. BEST PRACTICE: Take a picture of the top (white copy) of your triplicate form to keep for your own records. Once the form is signed, the CALCP representative will hand you the pink copy, CALCP will retain the yellow copy for our records and CALCP will turn in the white copy to the CDA immediately following the conference.

ATTENDEE RESPONSIBILITIES

At the back of each class, we will have CALCP Leadership signing the CDA Forms, Verifiable Training Forms, and ISA forms. Getting your appropriate form(s) signed at the end of each class is your responsibility as is bringing your pesticide license number and/or ISA Certification number. We cannot verify that you were in the class after the fact. That must be done at the end of the class. We also cannot look up your license or certification numbers. Please ensure the proper credits are being signed off after each session as each attendee holds full responsibility for their forms.

BEEN THERE, SAT IN THAT!

Traffic starts before the sun comes up in Colorado. Please be sure to plan your commute to arrive in plenty of time to enjoy your breakfast, check-in, and be seated in the first session by 8:00 a.m.

IF YOU ARRIVE LATE, YOU MAY NEED TO SIT UP FRONT

We often find that people don't want to sit up in front or fill in between others. If you want the perfect seat, plan to arrive at the classroom a little early. If you arrive late, please walk down the aisle and look for an open seat so we do not have people standing in the back. We have reserved chairs in the back for people that have compromised immune systems.

CONNECT AND GREET!

Meeting new people is like unwrapping a gift! Take a moment to say hello to someone standing alone. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a first-time attendee, there’s a friendly face waiting to be discovered. Remember: You’re not alone—someone nearby is also navigating this exciting experience. Extend a warm welcome and create lasting connections.

DOOR PRIZE TICKETS

When you pick up your name badge, a door prize ticket will be included. Please take some time during scheduled breaks to visit with each exhibitor and thank them. After visiting each table, place half of your door prize ticket in your desired door prize box to be entered for some great giveaways! Please retain the other half of your door prize ticket for verification! Thank you!
