SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT OUR EVENT.
Many don’t know that last year’s conference was completely self-funded. The response for the event was incredible and was standing room only. There were close to 300 people at last years event many people at the door who wanted to get in, but there were no more seats.
This year we are committed to improving on last year, and in order to do that we need to be able to have a bigger space, which can accommodate more people. We know the normal tickets will sell out quickly and early, but want to give everyone the chance to hear about the event before they do.
Currently there are only 250 seats available, and they are selling out quickly, but we want everyone to have the opportunity to attend. Plus it's hard to pass up cocktails and food.
