HOW TO REGISTER

Registration is not yet open for the 2027 PETS Conference in Glenwood Springs. We anticipate it will open very soon! Please check back!
 

How much does it cost?

Registration costs for the full PETS conference (from Friday evening through Sunday morning) are not set quite yet. Many of our four districts cover the cost of the conference for Rotarians in specific roles - for instance Presidents-elect. Cost for your district and registration type is indicated as part of the registration process or check with your District Governor Elect (DGE) to confirm your district's practices. 
 
Some participants (including District Officers, Spouses, PDGs, or other guests) may select individual meals to attend. Total registration for these registrants will be the sum of the meals selected. 
 

When Does it Start and End?

That depends on what district you are in!  Some districts will start earlier than others on Thursday afternoon, especially for Area Governors. Those early AG sessions will start at 3 pm on Thursday, April 1st, 2027. We have an optional (but definitely recommended) Thursday evening welcome reception from 5-8 pm at the Glenwood Art Center. We officially start bring and early on Friday morning. Check with your District Governor Elect, District Registrar, or Area Governor to find out what time you need to be in attendance (or see the program page for details). We will officially conclude on Saturday following our dinner keynote speaker, but you won't want to miss the hospitality suites that evening, and the optional (but hilarious!) Coffee Chat with Larry Lunsford on Sunday morning. 
 
 

PETS Sessions

You will experience two basic types of sessions:  District Sessions and Facilitator-led PETS Breakout Sessions for PEs, PENs and AGs. You will find the schedule of these sessions, as well as the schedule for plenary speakers at meals on our website as soon as they are final. Look at the PROGRAM page for details. When you arrive at PETS, you will find your personal assignments for PETS training sessions on your name badge.

Meals

All meals, from the Friday breakfast to Sunday coffee, are included in PE, AG, PEN, Committee Member and Facilitator registration. Guests, Partners, PDGs and District Officers may select either full registration, including all meals, or select from a variety of meal package options during registration. Please let us know your dietary restrictions when you register, in the noted location. The Hotel Colorado will make accomodations for your needs. 
 

Schedule

You will be very busy while you are at PETS!!  Most attendees, when walking out of the hotel on Sunday, think to themselves, “Wow! That sure went by fast!”  PEs and AGs are expected to attend all events assigned and other participants will get the most out of the experience by participating fully.  There will be opportunities Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings for socializing and building your support network, both in and out of your own District. Also, try sitting with people you don't know during meals. It's a great way to get to know other Rotarians. 
 

What to Bring

Besides your luggage, there’s not a lot you need to bring.  You will want to bring a workbook to take personal notes from classes, plus bring a lot of fresh ideas and enthusiasm. There will be WiFi available in the classrooms. iPads and tablets are acceptable for taking notes. 
 
What to Wear
Rotary-themed attire is encouraged, but certainly not required (check out the vendors all weekend). Business casual attire is appropriate for training sessions, as well as all meals, general and district sessions. 
 

Who Puts on High Country PETS?

High Country PETS is a cooperative effort among 4 Districts, including all of Colorado and Wyoming, as well as part of Nebraska. The PETS Committee is made up of District Governors-Elect and District Governors-Nominee from each of the 4 Districts involved, along with many operational support members.
