CALL FOR PAPERS
If you wish to present a paper, please submit your abstract to Darla McCarley-Celentano at dmccarle@auroragov.org and how much time you think you will need to present. There is time on the agenda for papers only on Sunday morning.
Anyone involved in ABFDE, ASQDE, NIST/OSAC, etc. who would like to give SWAFDE an update, please let me know so I can schedule some time for those presentations on Sunday.
SPECIAL REQUEST
Would anyone happen to have a lavalier microphone or ELMO projector we could borrow for the Handprinting Workshop? We are trying to keep costs down and AV is expensive.
INFORMATION
Here is information about the hotel and nearby restaurants.
The hotel shuttle runs 24 hours and is free from the Denver International Airport to the hotel and the surrounding area. This area is still being built out, so we should have additional restaurants to choose from come October.
A large convention center was built very close to our hotel which has additional restaurants and shops (Gaylord Convention Center in Aurora, CO) and is shuttle accessible.
Hospitality room – The hotel has a bar in the main lobby with an area directly next to it that we can take over and use as our hospitality room (AKA: the registration area.) Unfortunately, due to liquor laws/licensing, we cannot bring in our own alcohol.
President’s Reception/Dinner – It has been decided that we will not have a President’s Reception or Dinner. Friday and Saturday’s programs are full of information; get out and enjoy Denver and your fellow examiners for the evening.
Registration will take place on 10-10-19 (Thursday) between 3-5 p.m. Hotel registration is on the left; SWAFDE registration will be directly to your right. If you miss registration, you may register on Friday morning starting at 7:00 a.m. in the Copper II meeting room.
Please send the registration and fees to: Darla Celentano/SWAFDE, Box 21, Castle Rock, CO 80104.
If you have any questions, need additional information or have a suggestion, please feel free to email me at dmccarle@auroragov.org or plumcreekforensics@att.net.
