An agenda will be available online very soon.

I will be in Las Vegas and I'm looking forward to meet you all.
I hope there is a special Focal Point Meeting Room....

I plan on being there as well. There is usually a Birds-of-a-Feather table at some of the meals which has a table for Focal Point. I also recall there being a Focal Point reception one night.


Thanks!

See you folks there. I'm relatively new to Focal Point, but am looking forward to putting faces to names. Have picked up quite a few tips/pointers over the past 5-6 months. Thanks all.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to Summit and Susannah, Tony and pFrancis's presentation!

Kathleen, thanks so much! Summit@ibi.com is not answering emails??

We've tried about 6 times. Can you tell us if there's going to be a companion program and how to sign up a companion?

Thanks so much! Carol

Carol,
I had also posed the question about the companion program and received the reply that it was not being offered this year as there is no offsite scheduled. You would be paying for meals only and the estimated cost would be $400.00 per person so it is less expensive for the attendee to get their companion meals elsewhere.

we had wondered the same, They're making it sound so depressing .... but we weren't concerned about meals... it was just the Tuesday night party that we wanted to be able to bring our companions to, the Sunday night reception, and there's usually a Sunday trip to something like Hoover Dam, at an extra cost.
Last time in Vegas the Tuesday night party was just a barbeque on the hotel deck, which was just fine, it doesn't need to be actually off the site to be fun. And the whole reason we bring our 'Others' is just so they can meet all our work friends..

I found this posted in the FAQ section of Summit 2007

Q. Can I bring a guest to the conference?

A. The companion program allows you to bring an adult friend or family member to several Summit 2007 events. Companion tickets can be purchased on-site at the conference registration desk.

Hello All - The agenda will not be posted on the website until next week. If this changes I will let everyone know. I assure everyone that the agenda is going to be great!

Yes, there will be a companion program however, tickets can be purchased onsite and the price will be available at that time.

No offsite this year but it's Vegas!

Sorry for the delayed response.

The Focal Point booth will be setup during the Solutions Pavilion as well.

I hope this helps.

Yep. Looks like it's there but no details behind the sessions yet and no way to organize the agenda except by type. Looks like they're still working on it... (I hope).
