-if you are not attending this year

For the first time, I’ve offered an ultra-early-bird rate for non-attenders. You can save the most on registration for the 2005 meeting, and get the dates, and even submit a proposal to present by going to this page of the website:  http://www.brainmeeting.com/2005registration.htm

 

Conference Info

-The conference has a record number of speakers (82,) pre-registrants and exhibitors. The exhibit  hall is sold out. We can’t accept any more exhibitors unless we put them somewhere else.

Bu make sure to pick up a final schedule at the meeting. There have been minor schedule changes in the last two days and there could be more, mostly additions.  

 

-Continuing Education. This year, we’ve arranged for continuing credits (up to 43 hours) for psychologists, social workers and CA MFTs. Please check this link for details  http://www.brainmeeting.com/2004_CE_Notice.htm

 

This year we will have a nationally syndicated radio talk show host doing his show in the exhibit hall on Friday and Monday, from 9-12. He will be reporting on the meeting and doing some interviews. The show is Thom Hartmann’s, a long time friend of the meeting, who will also be speaking at the meeting.

There will be a dinner on Saturday evening, like we did last year, with great Comedic entertainment from Swami Beyondananda. You’ll need to sign up for the mealLast year was a lot of fun with great food and laughs.

 

Please let any students you know that they can still come free as volunteers. We can help them find a room at motel six for reasonable rates. The hotel is sold out over the weekend, though I believe we still have one or two people with rooms who are seeking room-mates.

 

 

 

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
