Dear NPAA Members, Potential Members, and Industry Contacts:
“It’s All About The Sport”, to learn why, mark your calendars and plan to attend the 2011 NPAA Conference to be held January 7-9th at the Holiday Inn and Suites Airport, Minneapolis, MN.
We have schuduled our strongest line up of speakers ever for this Conference, including: industry partners, social media experts, ‘fishing as a business’ experts, and our keynote speaker fishing industry mogul and personality Jerry McKinnis. The Conference will begin at 5:00PM on the evening of Jan. 7th with a no charge Meet/Greet Pizza Party arranged for by Bob Luellen of Worldwide Marine Underwriters, one of the NPAA’s Gold Supporting Partners and sponsored by American Modern Home Insurance Company. This get together will be a great opportunity for you to network and get to know other members and industry attendees
This year’s $50 Conference Fee ($60 at the door) is a great value given everything this venue has to offer. Your advanced registration allows our team to plan for the correct number of meals and conference rooming seating. Please pre-register by Dec. 29th.
Lunch’s both days and admission to the Meet/Greet Party Friday are included in this year’s Conference Fee. The Conference is open to the public, so feel free to invite your friends and acquaintances that can benefit from the Conference to join us.
