League official David Gamble, who is a panel umpire, will take umpires through changes to competition rules for 2020.
And Chris Shelton will take through the latest discipline regulations and procedures.
The meeting will end with a question-and-answer session with National Counties panel umpire Ray Allen.
All umpires - DACO members or otherwise - from anywhere in Devon are welcome to attend the meeting. Start time at Ottery is 11am.
