Please join us in Savannah for another great CAD RETEC Conference.

The 2009 CAD RETEC will be held in Savannah, Georgia from October 18-20. Join us on the river front of historic Savannah, voted one of the best southern cities by Southern Living Magazine in January 2009.
Also, back by popular demand this year is Bob Charvat’s day-long “Coloring of Plastics” tutorial scheduled for Sunday, October 18th. Bob is an industry guru, so don’t miss the opportunity to learn from the best. (Separate registration required)
