Confab is the only conference by consultants for consultants and has been running annually since 1977. We are committed to delivering a highly interactive conference full of cutting edge knowledge, guaranteed to enrich the practices and lives for consultants at all stages of their careers. With its workshops, keynotes and networking, Confab is the largest consultants’ conference in the continental U.S.

Our all-volunteer committee – comprised of consultants from around the United States – is hard at work developing our program based on years of experience and input from previous participants. Please check our website frequently for updates and conference news – Confab is always a work in progress.

Many professional conferences focus on strategy. Not so at CONFAB, where the emphasis is on tactics and practical application. Confab seeks speakers who are consultants themselves as we’ve found the most effective presenters come from the trenches of consulting.

The original purpose of Confab remains intact today – consultants helping each other succeed. See you in October!

Recent Additions to Confab:

Saturday Night Welcoming Reception

• The networking begins early again this year. Whether you are a Saturday golfer or not, make plans to join us at the Saturday night welcoming reception. Get the lower Saturday-night-stay airfare and a jump on meeting your fellow Confabbers, and be there bright and early on Sunday for the pre-conference Workshop and the new Confab Technology Fair.

The Confab Technology Fair

• We introduced The Confab Technology Fair to rave reviews at Confab 2007. Why? The consulting community is in the midst of change, whether we know it or not! Technology can make us more profitable and efficient. Technology is the main tenant of those decision makers we deal with now, and will deal with more frequently day by day. As practitioners who want to help others improve their results we need to employ tools which will help us improve ours.
• The Confab Technology Fair will showcase technology experts in the areas of hardware, software, wireless, and new exciting and emerging technologies. We hope to bring the big guns to the table, as well as individual artisan specialists. However big or small, they will be there to demonstrate, give you individual attention and help you improve your results.
