Promote Your Business With Video
Video is becoming an increasingly important way to promote businesses on the web, and this year IMC can help you with both the production and distribution of your promotional video.

On the production side of the equation, there will be a leading producer of Website Videos, Bob Chesney, at CONFAB this month -- I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity (you can check out a sample here.

I then encourage you to post your video (distribution) on IMC's NorCal Consultant's Network. What better way to get known than to have a video working for you on the Internet 24/7?

Pricing for this production is normally $3000. The price for CONFAB attendees that are IMC Members will be $300. The price for CONFAB attendees that are not IMC Members will be $1000.

I agree....very good value too. One of my favorite sessions was the "dating game" where we could watch a real live client interview three actual consultants on the other side of a curtain. Being able to see the client's reaction while the on stage consultants couldn't gave really great and valuable insight on the selling process.

I wouldn't miss Confab - and haven't since the first time I went many years ago. I always gain new insights and valuable information that I can put to use in my own consulting work . It is THE place to learn, to network with others and to contribute. The keynotes are really good as well as the break out sessions. I hope to see a lot of you there! Rogene
