Sponsors and Exhibitors Wanted
The CRRA Annual Conference and Tradeshow is an excellent way to get the exposure and recognition your business needs.  A majority of conference attendees surveyed report that they are directly responsible for purchasing decisions.  These attendees are contracting for promotional products, office supplies, recycling bins and containers, recycling equipment and consulting services.  For more information on sponsorship opportunities, contact Judi Gregory at judigregry@aol.com.
 
Hotel Reservations.
CRRA's hotel block at the Crowne Plaza in San Pedro is almost SOLD OUT.  Check the website for information on how to reserve your room.
 
Take a Tour. 
This year, plan to arrive early and spend Saturday at Catalina Island, or visit the Aquarium of the Pacific.  Don't leave the conference until after you've taken one of the technical tours scheduled for Wednesday, August 1.  These tours will really "knock you overboard"!
