Overview
|
The Experience Event - Combine the technology experience with a blend of the New Orleans experience in food, music, and entertainment plus three days of outstanding peer discussion. Now you have an Executive Conference affordable for small and medium SMB Partners that can only happen in New Orleans! An extraordinarily valuable and entertaining professional networking event combines live music every night, great entertainment and interacations including a Jazz Reception Thursday night, an infamously popular return to a Bourbon Street balcony party on Friday night , and a special treat on Saturday to be announced. It's the last night of the conference, so how would you top the first two nights?? Content - Our speakers will include industry professionals, experienced Microsoft's MVPs and professional community group leaders who service SMB businesses. The "voice of experience" is the foundation in our event theme and content planning. Participation - We will expand the invitation for sponsors this year, and provide opportunities for training and focus group discussions you can choose to participate in. Book Early! - Please take notice...these conference events are likely to fully book in advance, we specifically limit attendee space in order to maintain the intimate discussion format and fabulous entertainment atmosphere. As the dates come closer, the fixed size for the conference means you might be waiting for a cancellation if you want to attend. Don't wait, you may miss it! (Not including spouses, we anticipate just 80 more attendee seats added in 2008 compared to 2007.) Sign up! http://www.conference.sbsmigration.com/registration |

Food and Music
|
Last year the Jazz Band Reception and private mini-concert by 12 times Jazz Fest performer Tim Laughlin was rolling!. Tim blew the room away and you can expect no less this year...we'll announce our 2008 performers very soon. During the weekend, conference attendee registration includes seven meals. Enjoy fabulous local food at lunch and our dinner receptions, plus 3-days of hot breakfast and a signature New Orleans lunch on both Friday and Saturday. Conference guests are welcome for all evening events. Our Coffeehouse returns, again this year just outside the meeting rooms offering snacks during the day. You do want some gumbo or bisque, right? We'd tell you more, but there's so much more to get finalized, you just have to wait on the best details! |
