For the first time in its 37-year history, CDLA will be holding its annual two-day conference in Monterey, California!

 As usual, our conference rates are among the lowest in the country. Also, we have secured a limited number of rooms at the Hyatt at the super-low rate of $275/night. The Education Committee has developed a truly exceptional program with eight featured speakers. There will also be ample opportunity for social interaction and networking throughout the two days.

 Reduced/early registration rates are effective until July 10, 2026.

 Please contact me if you need additional information and/or experience any issues with registration.
