RE: COMMON Fall Conference sessions -- MIDRANGE-L

Seems like COMMON heard the complaints and listened. Told you to watch this space. :)

Have a great Fourth of July for those who celebrate Independence day today. I know myself and a few others on this list will be speaking at the COMMON Fall event, September 24 to 26, so I look forward to seeing you at the COMMON Fall event.

I know that the Education committee has been working hard on the session selection, and I believe they have informed all the speakers who have submitted the sessions that they were selected. Now, the speakers are in the process of confirming the confirmations.

I agree with Jeff that you should be able to see the sessions prior to registering. Yes, the discount is great and you can save a good chunk of money, but you want to validate the sessions are the ones you will need to enhance your career and get the most value from your investment in the COMMON Fall conference. While I am on the COMMON board, I can't promise anything anymore (As I am not President any longer), but I believe the board will be very sympathetic to this issue.

So, watch this space.

I got yet another email reminding me that I can save $150 if I register before July 1, which is fast approaching.

I'm definitely interested, but no sessions are posted. I'd really like to see what the session - and possibly the pre-conference workshops - are before I commit.

I called COMMON HQ. The receptionist said it's definitely in the works but she did not know the exact status. I left a VM for the Education Coordinator (right title?)

Anyone here know any more than that?
