If you like to sharpen your saw, you might be interested in this.
Joe Abraham, a noted entrepreneurial guru (he's give a TED talk and has an upcoming TV series apparently - who knew?), will be leading hands-on workshops designed to turbo charge your business on 10/07 - 10/08 in Chicago for the SLA retreat. I've seen his TED talk - he seems pretty engaging so it will hopefully be high energy.
If you haven't been to an SLA retreat, it's a real change from the average conference where you sit in classroom style and listen to someone speak about a topic for an hour or so. In the SLA retreats, you roll up your sleeves and work on your business with fellow business leaders.
Every time that I've been, I have gone away feeling that it was time well spent. I did a write-up a while back on it:

I will be attending and hopefully will see many of you there as well!
