Register Now for the 2022 Winter Conference!

January 7, 2022

We are getting excited about The Dakota Territory Buffalo Association’s 2022 Winter Conference in Rapid City, to be held from February 17th-20th. The theme this year is “Data Driven”, and tickets are $175 per person. Please take a moment to review the tentative agenda below, and don’t delay in registering for our annual capstone event.

There are two ways to register. The quickest and easiest way is to register online with your membership login information. Alternatively, you can download and print a registration form here. Simply fill it out and send it in, with your payment, to:

DTBA
PO Box 1315
Rapid City, SD 57709

Please note that, while we are holding online registration open until February 8th, mail-in forms must be postmarked by February 5th. There will be a $30 late fee for anyone registering after the deadline, and meals cannot be guaranteed at that time, so please register soon!

Finally, if you haven’t already, don’t wait until the last minute to book your rooms for the conference at the Courtyard by Marriott. The DTBA rate and availability can only be guaranteed until January 18th, so please call 605-791-0945 and ask for the Dakota Territory Room Block, or click here to make your reservation online.

The Annual Winter Conference really is our premier event of the year, and it is the strong support of our membership that makes it a fun and informative weekend. We appreciate you all, and we hope to see all of you again this February!
