I'm working on my training budget right now...any recommendations on how much should I set aside for the MT conference fees?

I sure could use this info as well for the cost of the Dallas conference as I need to have my numbers in for February 1.....

Thanx,
Scott

The pricing will be identical to 2008:

$1,600 - Early-bird (typically registering within the first 30 days of the announcement)
$1,800 - Regular price

Thanks for asking ... and hope to see you at a conference!

Best Regards,
Mike

My budget is just not up to that--either personal or work.
Is there any sort of "non-profit" price scale?

(I know you guys have to make a living--I just thought I'd ask.)

We don't have a "non-profit" price scale, but we have worked with plenty in the non-profit sector with limited budgets.

Send us an email and we'll be more than happy to discuss how we can help.

Best Regards,
Mike

After crunching more numbers--it just isn't in the cards. Our endowment lost half it's value this year, and the flight and hotel is more than we can afford, let alone a conference. :(

Unfortunately, MT is "extra" in terms of what is considered professional development for me, so I can't wiggle much loose.

I really appreciate your willingness to be open to questions, and to try to work with me. MT has been a life saver!
