The 2010 Combined Convention will be the ninth annual event for the CFDA and the CAC. The organizations first combined their conventions in September 2001 to offer affordable, high quality education opportunities for both funeral service and cemetery professionals. By combining their annual conventions, it helped the organizations to combat shrinking attendance at their respective events, and provided more convenience and affordability for vendors by allowing suppliers to see both segments of their customers at one event.

The CFDA-CAC Combined Convention is the premier event where mortuary science practitioners, funeral directors, cremationists, embalmers and cemetery professionals from Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region can learn about trends and techniques to enhance their operations, improve their practical skills, enhance customer care, engage in valuable networking and idea-sharing activities, and see the latest industry products and services.

The convention features more than 12 hours of continuing education sessions taught by nationally-recognized educators and local experts, and also offers a showcase of products and services used in the funeral and cemetery services profession.

More than 120 funeral service and cemetery representatives from the Rocky Mountain region attended the 2009 Combined Convention in Denver.
