Week of June 11, 2012
Greetings!
There are two tracks: one focused on expanding your business acumen for running a successful business, the second gives you technical skills that will enhance your productivity and increase your bottom line. For example, Todd Pownell's presentation is "Efficiency and Earnings: Technical Choices That Build a Viable Studio." We have four presenters in each track, and each person will give their talk twice. You don't have to stay in one track, you can easily move back and forth throughout the day. This is an intimate gathering, with a maximum of 100 attendees. Registration is only $125 for the full day, and depending on where you live, you'll stay in a hotel at most two nights. If you're within driving distance, you can reduce your hotel stay to one night or perhaps not stay in a hotel at all. Online registration is open through July 15. Our hotel room block at the Hampton Inn will close July 28. Don't wait too long to get a seat. Forging Entrepreneurs is open to both members and non-members. Please spread the word.
