The 2010 conference featured great, practical, information, tools and methodologies that consultants can take back to their office to implement and grow their consulting business. To help attendees break the ice at the beginning of the conference, we offered a new networking program, Biz Talk Blender™, created by IMC member Alice Heiman.

New! Confab 2010 Schedule Uses Less Billable Consulting Time
Confab 2010 has a new format that makes it even better for consultants. We took the same programs, workshops, networking and general sessions and put them in a more convenient schedule. Registration, networking, golf, two pre-conference workshops and the Gala Opening Cocktail Reception take place on Saturday, October 23. The Confab presentations start first-thing Sunday, October 24, and go through late Monday, October 25, with the conference dinner and entertainment Sunday night.
