SGMP Member,

We are pleased to announce that attendee registration is now available on our conference website, for the 2012 SGMP National Education Conference (NEC) in New Orleans, LA, on May 16-18, 2012. Join nearly

1,000 government meeting professionals for a week of high-quality education, resources, and networking. This is our 30th NEC and we expect it to be our best.

Registration for our popular and additional pre-conference programming is also available. There is limited space for the pre-conference programming. So register now, as we anticipate all of those courses will sell out well before May! Details on travel and lodging at our host hotel–plus important calendars, agendas, and sponsorship opportunities–can also be found on the conference website.

Attendee registration is linked to your SGMP membership record, so the system will auto-populate many of the registration fields for you. If you have any questions with your attendee registration, please contact Mike at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it [1] or 800-827-8916.

By the way, exhibitor registration is still available on our conference website. Supplier members should register to exhibit now, as we anticipate that the entire expo hall will sell out soon! If you have any questions with your exhibitor registration, please contact Krystal at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it [2] or 703-594-0892.

We look forward to seeing everybody again this spring! Get Connected to Government Meetings—Plug Into New Orleans!

Sincerely,

Charles S. Sadler, CGMP, CHSP, CHSC
