In order to be assured of attending the North American Tour of The Lion King on Tuesday, May 19, 2020
described below under Tuesday Evening Event, you must register to attend the conference by Friday, April 17, 2020. I must provide a final ticket count to the
Buell Theater on April 20th. I have reserved a block of 250 tickets and will need to release any unused tickets as
of April 20th.
For anyone that registers late (i.e., after April 17, 2020) and does not have a ticket
to The Lion King, they will be welcome to attend the pre-show reception/dinner
in the Seawell Ballroom but will not be assure of a ticket to The Lion King show. Registration was opened early to accommodate anyone that wants to register early. Preliminary agendas are in-process of being developed by the Committee Leaders and will be posted to this website when they are available. Since the Committee Leaders define the agendas, the agendas will be industry focused and include sufficient time for Roundtable Discussions.
The
2020 Spring Accounting Conference will be held at the Grand Hyatt Denver on May
17-20, 2020. The room block rate for our
conference is $209/night plus taxes for single/double occupancy. You can reserve a room for the conference
under the EEI room block using this link to the hotel’s website. The cut-off date for reserving rooms under
the EEI room block is Friday, April 24, 2020, at 12:00 pm MST.
Room reservations can
also be made with the hotel’s reservation department by calling (303) 436-1234. To qualify for the room block rate, please
identify yourself as attending the Edison Electric Institute’s Spring Accounting
Conference.
The Spring Accounting Conference is hosted by the EEI
Accounting Standards, Corporate Accounting, Property Accounting &
Valuation, and Budgeting & Financial Forecasting Committees and the AGA
Accounting Services Committee.
This meeting is open to any employee of an EEI or AGA member or
associate member company. The conference is not limited to committee
members. Typical attendees of this conference include staff, middle, and upper
accounting management involved in technical accounting, financial reporting,
general accounting, property accounting, depreciation accounting, budgeting,
and financial forecasting.
This three-day joint EEI/AGA conference provides a
forum for members to discuss current issues in the electric utility and natural
gas industries and an opportunity for professional development. This meeting
features joint committee presentations followed by breakout sessions for
Accounting Standards, Corporate Accounting, Property Accounting, and Budgeting
& Financial Forecasting. Industry professionals and leaders in the
field of utility accounting issues present individual elements. Attendees are
encouraged to attend presentations of interest in different breakout sessions. The conference qualifies for CPE credits based on the
sessions attended – the CPE Notice will be posted when the agenda for the conference has been set.
At the Conference, there will be Roundtable
Discussions in the breakout sessions. The Roundtable Discussions are open
forums that allow Conference attendees to obtain valuable responses and input
from your peers. Please take advantage of this extremely beneficial
opportunity as the Roundtable Discussions are always one of the highest rated
sessions of the Conference.
Closer to the conference dates, the Roundtable
Question directions will be sent to the committee members and registered
attendees.
For our Tuesday evening offsite event, we will attend the North American Tour of The Lion King at the Buell Theater at
the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
Giraffes strut, birds swoop, and gazelles leap. The entire Serengeti comes to life as never
before. And as the music soars, Pride
Rock slowly emerges from the mist.
More than 95
million people around the world have experienced the awe-inspiring visual
artistry, the unforgettable music, and the uniquely theatrical storytelling of
this Broadway spectacular – one of the most breathtaking and beloved
productions ever to grace the stage. At
4:30 pm, we will meet in the hotel lobby (the exact location to be announced at
the conference). We will leave the hotel
at 4:40 pm for a short 15-minute walk to the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. From 5:00 – 7:00 pm, we will enjoy a
reception and dinner in the Seawell Ballroom.
After the reception/dinner, we will proceed to the theater for The Lion
King which starts at 7:30 pm Following
the 2.5-hour show, the group will walk back to the hotel.
For anyone that
does not want to walk the short distance to the Center for the Performing Arts, two
minibuses will be provided before and after the event to shuttle people between
the hotel and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
If you arrive in
Denver early, please join us for our Sunday morning optional activity for
visits to the Red
Rocks Amphitheatre and Dinosaur Ridge. We will meet in the hotel lobby at 8:15 am
and board a 40-seat minibus to depart the hotel promptly at 8:30 am. We will arrive at the Red Rocks Amphitheater at
approximately 9:00 am for a 45-minute guided walking tour starting at 9:30 am. On the tour, you will learn about the geological wonders that formed the "walls" of the Red Rocks, the early inhabitants of the territory, and the artists that have graced the world-famous stage cradled between Ship Rock and Creation Rock. Following the tour, you will have an
additional 30 minutes of free time before we board the minibus for a short ride
to Dinosaur Ridge. At Dinosaur Ridge, we
will have a 90-minute Dinosaur Freeways & Cretaceous Seaways guided bus tour starting at 11:30 am. On the tour, we will explore the world-famous fossil sites visiting at least 4 areas of Dinosaur Ridge. The trained guide will focus on fossils/rock layers and how they formed, and how ancient climates were different from today and change over time. We
will depart Dinosaur Ridge immediately following the tour for our return drive to the hotel. A box lunch will be
provided on-board the minibus. Registration for
the Sunday Morning Optional Activity will be limited to 40 people on a first
