Dear Balloon Industry Member,
The 2009 IBA Annual Business Conference titled, Gateway to the Future, will be a dynamic event to help grow your business whether you are a Manufacturer, Distributor, or Associate Member. This conference promises to be the BEST EVER featuring a presentation and workshop on the topic of Marketing Your Business With Social Media.

New growth, new connections, and new business solutions are just a sampling of what you will receive by attending the IBA Gateway to the Future Annual Business Conference. I look forward to meeting with you September 22-24 in St. Louis, MO.
