IIW May 18-20 Regular Reg. Extended til May 11th

Phil and I have decided to extend regular registration that is $200 for independents and $350 for everyone else until next Monday before prices go up $100. PLEASE REGISTER this week so we will be able to buy food for you.   We have a fabulous line up of sponsors for the conference - THANK YOU.

Yes we know you have limited travel budget but Remember Plane tickets are cheaper then EVER – I just bought a one way ticket from SF to NY for $109 only 6 days in advance.

We have added the “VIP Ticket” for those of you who want to support IIW but can’t convince management to spend $1000 on a break sponsorship but can bill $998 to attend a a conference.  We hope to sell a few of these this week – we will thank you for being VIP’s.

Here is the list of proposed topics (think of it as the agenda and tell your boss the key things he needs to know you will be getting done there ) -
