The relationships formed at our conferences offer an additional line of training and support with regard to the GBA Master Series software. To help foster these relationships, we encourage you to join us for our extracurricular activities. We've added a couple of receptions this year, and we're planning an outing on Tuesday evening to get us out and exploring the City of Atlanta.

On Tuesday, September 23rd, we'll be heading to an area in Atlanta called Virginia Highland. This is a unique shopping / dining / entertainment district that is sure to have something for everyone. We'll board a bus at the hotel and stop first for a bite to eat. From there we'll move on to any of the many shops or nightclubs for an evening of socializing and relaxing. We'll offer two departure times during the evening - an earlier option for those of you who would like to have dinner and then turn in for the night, and a later option for those who want to take full advantage of all this area has to offer. The cost for this evening is $30 and includes your transportation and dinner (drinks are not included).

This national event is an excellent chance to connect with other users in your region to establish or continue regional user groups. In 2006 and 2007, we dedicated a time to regional user group meetings and provided you an opportunity to discuss region-specific issues and concerns. We're planning to continue that in 2008.
