In just a few days, we will be gathering in San Diego for the third annual Meeting of the Minds reseller conference. I hope you all are as excited as I and the others on administrative council are about the upcoming weekend. MANY hours of hard work have gone into planning this year's meeting. It is our largest to date and is packed with many sessions (new this year is a dual track presentation) moderated by our fellow attendees. In addition, we have eight sessions being presented by vendors who will demonstrate ways to assist your clients in growing their bottom line.
If you think this weekend is all work and no play, think again. On Thursday night, there will be a Meet and Greet from 5:30 7:30 where you can mix with other attendees and vendor sponsor personnel. Dinner is being left to your imagination. The Embassy Suites is located in downtown San Diego and there are numerous restaurants to choose from.
Friday night we set sail for a three hour dinner cruise. Capt'n Jim has promised that the weather will not get rough, nor will the tiny (actually not so tiny) ship be tossed. While we can't guarantee WHERE you will awaken Saturday morning, we DO know that it won't be on a deserted island. The ship leaves promptly at 6:45 PM so don't be late for this glorious evening under the stars.
For Saturday night's meal, Capt'n Jim has booked a room at his favorite fish market restaurant. The evening begins again at 6:30 with drinks followed by the catch of the day. Be sure to join us as we celebrate the wrap up of this memorable conference weekend.
Finally for those staying an additional day, Capt'n Jim is showing us his favorite ship, the USS Midway. Please join him at noon for the grand tour. For more information, click on this link,

Dress for the conference is CASUAL. We are resellers after all. The weekend weather forecast is supposed to be in the mid 70's (for those from the upper midwest, yes there is a zero following the 7)! For an up to the minute forecast, follow this link

For your information and convenience, attached is a meeting agenda, a session presenter biography and an attendee list. The hotel is a short (and inexpensive) cab ride from the airport. Its address is at the top of the agenda. In an effort to go green, we will not be handing out paper copies of either list. Please bring your own printed copy or stop by the Embassy Suites' business office to print one prior to Friday morning's session. For the dual sessions, you do NOT have to sign up in advance. There will be plenty of seating at either.
