Who would think spending 45 days hopping from one blog and podcast to another would serve as a popular kickoff for an international convention? I didn’t, and I’m the podcast and blog hopper! However, a lot of virtual assistants (VAs) are jumping on this rollercoaster ride, traveling from country to country, to help promote the virtual assisting industry and our upcoming Online International Virtual Assistants Convention – and you’re invited to hop this express too! All star lineups The tour began April 1st, from the OIVAC blog and has traveled thousands of miles promoting the convention scheduled for Thursday, May 17-Saturday, May 19, 2007, from a desktop computer near you. With an all star lineup of featured presenters and expert virtual assistants, this 2nd annual event is something VAs do not want to miss. Featured presenters include: • Paul & Sarah Edwards – pioneering work-from-home advocates and entrepreneurs • Donna Messer – international networker and “connections” extraordinaire • Michael Russer – Mr. Internet and world renowned VA and outsourcing advocate • Robert Middleton – Action Plan Marketing professional online marketing guru • Doris Helge – negotiation, persuasion and influencer • Gillian Hodge- Gabrielson – health and fitness expert • Robyn Henderson – internationally renowned networking skills developer • Rodney Payne – transcription software expert And this list doesn’t include expert VA presenters, such as: Janice Byer, Marylou Ashton, Jeannine Clontz, Diana Ennen, and so many more – in fact, we’ve scheduled 27 exciting and informative seminars to choose from. And there is more! Let’s not stop with the seminars! One of the most exciting events of this weekend convergence is the virtual assistant industry celebration: International Virtual Assistants Day; celebrated annually the third Friday of May. On this day we celebrate DEEDS: Dedication, Experience, Expertise and Determination to Succeed of professionals providing administrative and other business support services, virtually. The ceremony begins at 5:30 p.m. EDT (NY). This free and open-to-the-public event’s agenda includes honoring individuals nominated for the prestigious Thomas Leonard Virtual Assistant of Distinction Award and Janet Jordan Achievement Award. Winners will be announced during this celebration and will receive prizes donated by industry supporters. It is the “fun event” of the weekend and everyone is invited to attend. Note: Seating will be limited, so join the party early! Oops, can’t forget the exhibit halls – that’s right, just like a brick and mortar convention, we are hosting a fully-automated exhibitor hall where visitors can browse and talk to vendors. So please, don’t forget your headset/mic. Naturally, the rooms are text-chat enabled, but since we are familiar with VoIP technology, let’s give it a try. Admittance to the exhibitor halls is also free and open to the public. Networking opportunities, too Okay, what did I miss? I’ve covered fantastic speakers, awards, give-a-ways, exhibitions – ah, networking. More fun! That’s right, we’ve scheduled international networking activities and event sponsor showcases throughout the three (3) day event – so stop by and interact with your internationally-situated comrades. Find out what’s happening in the UK, Australia, US, China, Scotland, and many other countries represented by our versatile industry. Price is not an issue Now to the magic question – what does it cost to attend a 3-day, flexibly-scheduled convention, online, from the comforts of home (just start your desktop or laptop computer), you don’t have to dress for, worry about travel expenses or hotel accommodations, childcare, missing important calls and business, can meet and greet friends from around the globe, network galore, and win prizes – • Attend 1 seminar - $ 25 • Attend 3 seminars - $ 60 • Attend 5 seminars - $100 • All seminars - $350 (plus receive complete set of audio recordings) • Exhibitor Booths - $89 (VA industry) • Exhibitor Booths - $149 (non-VA industry) That’s it? Yes. And, if you register for a seminar and can’t attend – or it’s scheduled at an inconvenient time, the seminars will be recorded and available for listening and viewing through May 31st. That’s right. You can even view your selections over the next 10 days, 24/7. How great is that? Registrations closes May 15 Registrations close May 15, 2007 at 12 midnight, EDT (NY). This means, you MUST register by midnight, or you will not be able to participate in any of the seminars. So plan ahead, pick your preferences now – and register by May 15th! Seating is limited. That’s it! And, to think this all started with a podcast and blog hopping tour . Anyway, if you are not participating in the tour, you’re missing out on being eligible for some great prizes.
