Early-Bird Registration Deadline for Build Business 2007 Is January 31

The early-bird registration deadline for Build Business 2007 is scheduled for January 31, a departure from previous years when the deadline was December 31. The early-bird fee for members is $990 ($1290 for nonmembers). Teams of three or more employees from the same company registering for Build Business enjoy a discount of $90 per person when their forms and fees are submitted together. An advance registration form can be printed from the conference web site at www.buildbusiness.org.

On February 1, the conference registration fee increases to $1090 for members ($1390 for nonmembers) registering before June 15. (Fees increase once more for attendees registering on or after June 16, 2007.)

The early-bird deadline was moved to the end of January in response to member feedback indicating that securing approvals from supervisors and registration-fee checks from accounting departments during the holiday season can be difficult.

The discounted room rate at the Grand Hyatt Washington (the official conference hotel) in Washington, DC, will be $195 per night, single or double, for reservations made before July 27, 2007. The Hyatt will begin taking reservations in December 2006. When reserving a room, please ask for the SMPS/PSMA room block to receive the discounted room rate.

The conference schedule of events and educational programs will be posted to www.buildbusiness.org in the next month. Please visit the web site for conference details as they develop. [ return to top ]
