Are refreshments included in the registration fee?
Yes. Light morning and afternoon refreshments are included in the registration fee.

Do I need to prepare or bring anything?
Come to this conference prepared to learn and have fun! Bring your registration confirmation for fast check-in. All conference materials will be provided, including a conference passport-your “entry pass” to get into the sessions you register for.

What should I wear?
Dress comfortably! Business casual or casual wear is appropriate. It may be hot outside, but the room temperatures inside tend to be chilly--we suggest bringing a sweater or jacket, or dressing in layers.

What materials/handouts do we receive?
At registration you will receive a Management Conference Binder to insert the materials you receive from each training session you attend.  Your session materials will be handed to you when you arrive at each session.  For your convenience, there are tabs in your binder reflecting each time slot so that you can put your materials behind the appropriate time. In addition, you have access to all training materials by downloading them after the conference at www.gfpinvegas.com through November 1, 2008.

How can I get all the sessions I want with the limited time we have at the conference?
We recommend bringing your team and using the group rate. That allows you to send 5 or more representatives from your agency at a discounted rate - you can save $500 or more! In addition, you have access to all training materials by downloading them after the conference at www.gfpinvegas.com through November 1, 2008.

Will I get a certificate to verify my participation?
Yes! An official certificate of participation will be sent approximately 4-6 weeks after the conference to those participants who turn in their stamped conference passport at the end of the conference.

Will there be time to ask questions in addition to my session?
Of Course! Just visit the Wipfli Q&A station. Wipfli staff and trainers will be available to answer your questions throughout the conference. Many trainers will be available for brief one on one consultations. Contact any Wipfli personnel and we will do our best to accomodate you.

Can I record this training seminar on tape or video?
No. To protect the confidentiality of all participant questions and comments, and to promote open discussion, we do not allow our training seminars to be recorded.
