Confab 2010 Theme: “Build Your Business”

Keynote: “Blue Ocean Strategy”

At the 2010 conference you’ll get great, practical, information, tools and methodologies to take back to your office to implement and grow your consulting business. And you’ll meet great consultants during Confab. But there’s even more. To help you break the ice at the beginning of the conference, we have 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.
