Cental Iowa Orchid Society's
Speaker's Day History
For the current program, click here - For registration form, click here
Speaker's Day is an annual event hosted by the Cental Iowa Orchid Society.
The year, 2012, will be our 24th annual Speaker's Day.
The first Speaker's Day was held in the summer of 1989. In the past we have had speakers from all over North America, some coming from as far as Canada, Mexico and even Hawaii and Ecuador. The speakers give presentations on all aspects of orchid growing and commonly grown genera of orchids.
The registration fee for the event is $25.00 per person in advance or $30.00 per
person at the door. The cost covers all the speakers as well as a continental
breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon desert bar. With your paid admission you also
get a ticket for the doorprize drawings held throughout the day. You can
purchase additional doorprize tickets at the door.
Also, each speaker
usually brings
plants to sell throughout the day so you will get a chance to buy plants we usually cannot obtain locally.
Reservation can be made in advance at a later date closer to the event. That information will be posted at the appropriate time.
