CAFR's annual recycling Summit is the premier event in Colorado for
recycling and waste diversion activities. It is a dynamic conference and
exhibition that brings together the state's recycling professionals
including recycling and waste processors, manufacturers, government
agencies, non-profit organizations, academic institutions, trade
associations, consultants and individuals dedicated to the principles of
recycling.

A program committee will select the proposals deemed most effective in
appealing to the varied interests of CAFR's membership and Summit
attendees. While a proposal may be accepted, CAFR reserves the right to
reject or suggest variations on the proposals and presenters. Presenters
attending the entire Summit receive a 50% discount on registration costs.
