Conference Quick Notes

• Conference Registration Brochure Being Developed
• The conference registration brochure is slated
  to go out this winter. Much information,
  however, is already available on the website and
  will continuously be updated as we get closer to
  the conference. For more information, please
  contact Dean Schultheiss, Events and Outreach
  Manager, at 703-575-9400 x25.
• Conference Planning Committee Established
• The Orlando-based conference planning committee
  has been established and is beginning the work of
  designing the 2005 program.
  
• Program Changes Envisioned for 2005 Conference
• If you have looked at the 2005 calendar, you
  will notice a pattern shift for the 2005
  conference Thursday through Sunday, as opposed
  to the traditional Wednesday through Saturday.
  We also envision the addition of two institute
  tracks, which are longer than the 115 minute
  concurrent workshops and we also plan a series of
  post-conference sessions on Sunday morning with
  the conference adjourning by 1100 a.m. See page
  5 for a tentative program outline.
• Number Crunching for Orlando Conference
• Now is the time to budget for this conference.
  Go to page 8 for figures to help you prepare your
  budget requirements.
  
• Delta Airlines and Hertz are Official 2005 Travel
  Team
  
• Delta Airlines is the official air carrier of
  NADCPs 11th Annual Drug Court Training
  Conference in Orlando. Discounts of up to 10
  are available on advance flight purchases. Delta
  is the predominant airline in Orlando. For your
  ground transportation needs, NADCP has again
  contracted with Hertz to provide discounts on
  auto rentals before, during and after the
  conference. See details on page 9.

Programmatic Changes Planned

• NADCPs Annual Training Conferences were combined
  in 2004 to better reflect the training needs of
  the drug court field. With that came an expanded
  number of topic-focused training tracks oriented
  to adult, juvenile, family and other
  problem-solving courts.
• In response to the maturation of drug courts, as
  well as the advances in treatment and research
  related to drug court, expanded in-depth
  workshops will be incorporated into what we are
  calling Institute Tracks. Each will be two
  hours in length and run concurrently with the
  regular tracks, which are still one hour and
  fifteen minutes. These, and a series of
  post-conference workshops, will replace the
  traditional Wednesday pre-conference workshops.
• Three plenary sessions are slated. Watch our
  website for updates on exciting speakers and
  topics.

• Attendees will still find workshops that feature
  both the familiar interactive panel discussion
  and sessions presented by expert lecturers.
  Networking opportunities along with the exhibitor
  fair and marketplace remain important elements of
  the conference.
• A series of post conference workshops are slated
  for Sunday, June 12. Each will be approximately
  two hours in length and will cover some of the
  leading edge topics of our times. Honors and our
  keynote speaker will be scheduled for Saturday,
  June 11. The earlier adjournment on Sunday then
  will benefit those catching flights to the West
  Coast.
• Finally, we will begin our day a little earlier
  and end earlier so that participants may partake
  of the exciting venues in Orlando as well as the
  offerings of the magnificent Marriott Orlando
  World Center Resort.
