- JULY 4TH TICKETS - BOOK NOW
I just booked my flights to the Denver Conference.  Please be aware that
because we are so close to the July 4th holiday, you should BOOK YOUR
FLIGHTS IMMEDIATELY.  As you all know, discounted and frequent flyer award
seats are limited. I was surprised at the challenge to get flights booking
this far in advance.  Don't wait another week.
########################
- INSTITUTE SCHEDULE
This is made easy by the fact that we know ALL the Pre and Post Conference
Institute beginning and end dates.  Note that the pre conference institutes
start at 8:30am, so you need to be in place the night before.  The
post-conference institutes end at 5:30pm and it takes about an hour to get
to the airport.  SEE THE full Institute line up at:

########################
- WED AND SUNDAY BANQUETS - PLAN AHEAD
We ALSO know the who is presenting the pre and post conference banquets.
Last year many of you were quite disgruntled when you found out about the
speakers for the pre-conference Wednesday banquet and the post-conference
Sunday banquet when it was too late to change your flights.

Again, this year these are going to be CAN'T MISS banquets!!

NICKY AND SILA LEE, "THE MARRIAGE COURSE" WED, JUNE 27, 6-9pm.  This was one
of the very top workshops at last year's Atlanta conference with everyone
that attended insisting it had to be a keynote. NICKY AND SILA are dynamic,
engaging and entertaining and their course is one that everyone should be
using.  No one can teach it like the course founders.  If you're attending a
pre-conference training institute, it's a no-brainer to join us for this
first banquet - our first chance to start networking. If you're planning to
arrive on Thursday for the conference opening at 6:30pm, arrive a day early
on Wed afternoon and attend the banquet and then attend one of the one-day
Institutes #115 - 118.  And, #118, the School/Youth Institute is free. Or,
spend Thurs browsing the exhibits and visiting the new Denver Art Museum
with it's new phantasmagorical wing -- just a few blocks from the hotel.
It's probably the only time all weekend you'll be able to get away to see
museum, or Denver Mint, or Mountains.  We keep you busy -- early morning
till late at night. Rest up in advance! But do join us for this opening
dinner.  

> The Marriage Course
> Nicky & Sila Lee
> This practical out-of-the-box course, an offshoot of the famed Alpha course,
> uses a video-based dinner format that is easy for lay couples to teach,
> transforms & strengthens marriage, and draws couples in ³like magic².

PAT LOVE AND STEVEN STOSNY: SUN, JULY 1, 6:30-9:30pm.  These top-rated
presenters (she of Hot Monogamy, The Truth About Love and he of Compassion
Workshops and the Power Love Boot Camp) are doing a keynote together for the
first time, brought together by their new book: "HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR
MARRIAGE WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT IT: LOVE BEYOND WORDS".  The book is hot, ask
Oprah.  It's featured in the current issue of "O" Magazine and is in
bookstores now.  This banquet is our last time to gather and socialize till
2008. Many connections are made at this banquet a very relaxed, 'get to know
you' kind of evening.  If you're staying for the post-conference Institutes,
it would be nuts not to join us.  And, if you're leaving after the
conference, stay over one more night, have dinner with us and fly out Monday
morning. - diane
