Registration

Students: $35
Licensed RTs: $75

We have worked to keep registration as affordable as possible. The registration fee helps cover the cost of providing CRCE credit, which is $12 per CRCE unit, as well as symposium expenses such as water, pens, and other supplies.

Seating is limited to only 65 attendees. Because space is limited, please make sure you have the time off from work and register early to secure your seat.

Silent Auction – Support a Great Cause!

We will also be holding a silent auction throughout the symposium. Proceeds from the auction help support disaster relief efforts and provide financial assistance for respiratory therapy students to attend educational conferences.

We already have a fantastic selection of donated items, including multiple rounds of golf, bowling, Fort Fun, food baskets, Denver Zoo tickets, mini golf, X-Golf, and much, much more! Come prepared to bid, have some fun, and support these important causes.

Whether you are an experienced RT, new to the profession, or currently an RT student, we hope you will join us for a great day of learning and connecting with respiratory professionals from across Colorado.

Mark your calendar, request the day off, and register early.

We look forward to seeing you in Fort Collins!
