ArtsConversation 2008, that is! Registration is now officially underway for
our fall conference, which is being held at the Hotel Indigo in Nashville on
November 9, 10 and 11. (Our fall booking conference is on the 11th.)

Registration materials are ready (well, almost), but ready enough to send
out to all of us within TNPR. We missed one item which will be added next
week before we invite non-TNPR members to the conference.

This is the official pre-invitation invitation for all of us.

Please respond and let us know of your attendance plans as well as your
feedback on these pieces before we go calling on non-member agencies. 
For those of you in a position to register early, you will be the recipient
of our undying gratitude as we need to start putting deposits on the hotel
and such. We will be spending a fair amount of money in July and every
little bit helps. As far as we know, the Tennessee Arts Commission (on
three...yea, Rich!!) is coming through with most, if not all of the promised
funds from a Commission Initiative fund, but it's not in the bank yet. So
send those checks as you can, please.

Presenters and agents each have their own registration form attached, but
I'd appreciate everyone looking at both and sending me any feedback you have
- especially on the agency form before I send it out to folks beyond our
membership.

The one item we missed was to include a non-member registration fee of
$225 which would include (for agencies) membership in TNPR for the remainder
of the fiscal year - through June 2009. Does this seem like a fair deal for
us and them? I also noticed that we need to include the events schedule in
the agency/artists registration form as well. Let me know of any other
thoughts you have about the marketing materials. And thanks in advance.

Register early! Register often! (just kidding) Encourage your friends! 
Let me know of specific agents who are not members to send registration
information!

Let's get this party rollin'!!!

Bob
