New this Year

For those valued customers who have been attending our annual conference faithfully, you might notice some changes to our format this year.  Thank you for growing with us, and let us know what you think.

• As our guest, you will be receiving journals for your note-taking throughout the day.  But these aren't just any journals - the cover consists of 100% recycled cardboard, and it is filled with 100 sheets of recycled paper.  That's not all; your reliable, retractable ink pen is made of 67% pre-consumer recycled materials, too!
• We're lightening your load this year (and collectively treading a little lighter on the Earth.)  Instead of big paper conference brochures, we'll be including a data CD inside the aforementioned journal.  It will contain all the presentations and additional information covered in all sixteen sessions.  Pretty cool, don't you think?  Maybe you can't be two places at once, but this will insure you don't miss an ounce of the day's content.  (If the lack of paper makes you nervous, feel free to print your course selections prior to submitting your registration.  We'll also have plenty of helpful folks on hand to make sure you get to where you need to go.)
• Recycling receptacles will be set up at both locations for recycling your plastic water and soda bottles throughout the day.
• Finally, we'll be trading in those ecologically unfriendly plastic lanyards for peel and stick nametags.

We want to bring you the best day of learning we can, with as little negative impact on the environment as possible.  If you have more suggestions for next year, please let us know.
