2006 MSPA Chicago
Some of the information about the conference is starting to materialize.
Saturday morning I will be considering my self image and sit in on a magic show…..you may remember one of my suggestions was to cut the “feel good” general speakers & cut to the chase, so I am geeked to see these two yahoos.
The schedule for the conference does not look like it will be posted to the general public, “The Conference Proceedings (distributed to Conference Registrants only) .” Read the post on Volition after Anaheim for the direct afterglow post conference last year. Although based on the MSPAs follow-up questionairre to certified shoppers I would anticipate a different set of sessions than the previous two, but without any information to the contrary I am certain some will hesitate to part with their had shopped for cash. Kern proclaimed 2/15 the date she would post the program - may that will convince the rest of the MS world.

Did you see this? More details! http://forum.volition.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=43587&whichpage=3
Exciting news!
I hope to post the FULL Schedule by the end of February.. but just added:
We’ve hired and EA (enrolled agent of the IRS) to do a session on Independent Contractor Taxes.. and he’s AWESOME!
We’ve added an “editor’s panel” to our Sunday panel line up.. Now we’ll have a “technology” panel, an “owners” panel, a “scheduler’s” panel and an “editor’s” panel featuring multiple people from multiple MSPA member companies.. all in a Q & A format where you can ask what you MOST want to know and never had the chance to ask before! These panels will last from 8:30 am til 1 pm on Sunday.. with one break.. so TONS of time to get your most wanted questions answered!
CLIENTS! You asked for it.. you got it.. we are working on having several clients present on Saturday… by Clients.. I mean END USERS.. the people who eventually get your reports! What do they use your reports for? What do they most want to hear? What do they like or dislike? While no contracts are in place yet, at least 4 end user clients have expressed interest in appearing and talking to YOU, the shoppers about how much your reports make a difference in their operations!
And there’s a lot more.. we are working on many other very interesting and NEW topics for attendees at the 2006 Educational Conference for Shoppers. Register now for early bird rates.. we can’t wait to see you there!
