Not Your Same Ole Convention:
DWF 2010 |
 The DWF Convention sponsored by Simply Canvas is VERY different this time around. This year, we're not about shoe-horning as many speakers in as we can. Past attendees have said those seminars start to feel like “slideshow.. slideshow.. slideshow.. etc” At DWF 2010 you will see an incredible lineup of speakers giving large portions of their day to EDUCATE. The full day with Jerry Ghionis, and five hours each with Kevin Kubota, Cliff Mautner, and Jim Garner? It’s deep diving, instead of skimming the surface and leaving you wanting more.
There IS more! We'll soon be announcing details on the Finao Delusions of Grandeur contest. YOU will anoint the King and Queen of the DWF Convention. First prize? An all expense paid trip to DWF 2010 including registration, transportation, hotel, and $100 spending cash. Don't worry, if you've already booked, we’ll reimbursed! Keep your eyes on the newsletter as we continue to announce details about the convention!Early bird registration underway now, Save $100!
