ETA is excited to present a new and improved 2008 Annual
Meeting and Expo, April 15 through 17, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in
Las Vegas.
Based on attendee feedback, we've made some exciting format changes, designed
to strengthen the industry's most important event and add value for attendees.
We are sure you'll love the enhanced education and networking opportunities so register
to attend today! Here are just some of the changes that will be featured
this year.
The President's Dinner has been moved to Tuesday, right
after the opening reception, to allow more people to participate and to create
the opportunity for an entire evening of unparalleled networking. This year,
attendees can extend the camaraderie of the opening reception at this vibrant
kick-off event.
ETA has moved its breakout sessions to the show floor—just a
few steps away from the exhibit booths—so you don't have to go far to
participate. A C-Level track has been added, which will educate top executives
on the topics that are important to them and the challenges they face; and the
Sales Super Session will devote five hours to hot sales topics, such as "Maximizing
the Merchant Relationship," Planning to be an ISO," "Value
Add," "Merchant On-Boarding," and "New Payment Types and
Technologies."
The Wednesday night party moves to the always-cool House of
Blues, and will provide more than three hours of quality networking amidst the
House of Blues’ famous southern-inspired cuisine and live entertainment.
This year, the Closing Luncheon and Session will take place in
the Exhibit Hall, and will feature a “State of the Industry” address in which a
panel of experts from all facets of the industry will address your
questions. Attendees will be able to
submit questions to be addressed in this session via drop boxes throughout the
conference.
In addition to these exciting new offerings, ETA will still
provide the staples you’ve come to expect and upon which you rely. Check out

that’s in store in Las Vegas,
