Good Day
I am the marketing manager for the conference

 and the event itself in March 2020.
We have amazing speakers, great projects, awesome food
 and entertainment and the theme for Saturday is Hawaiian
. The conference is so much more than just this though..
 and what a great chance to catch up with old mates and gain new ones.
ONE person will walk away with over $1500
 in prizes just for buying a ticket.

Would you mind discussing this conference at your club meeting.
Would you kindly BOOK ASAP

we can focus on the event rather than ticket sales.
Kind regards Sharyn
