THURSDAY - APRIL 10, 2008

Ironically, one of the "complaints" about the FOCUS conference has been that we provide so much entertainment each night, that attendees don't always have an opportunity to fully explore the city they're visiting. This year, then, we are not scheduling any entertainment functions on the first night of the conference. This gives attendees a free night to explore the many interesting night-life districts of Nashville.

Before you set off to explore Nashville however, make sure to attend our gala opening reception in the exhibit hall which will be held from 5:00pm to 8:00pm on this night. There will be tons of free food, free beer and soft drinks, live entertainment, lots of giveaways and door prizes, roving entertainment and of course, 150 exhibitors and recruiters ready to show your their wares. This is a fabulous three hour party that will leave you well fed before you set off to explore Nashville's nightlife. Don't miss it!

FRIDAY - APRIL 11, 2008 7:30pm - 10:00pm

Tonight's the night you definitely don't want to miss! What a way to visit this American institution. Focus has procured excellent seats for the national live broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry, a musical and comedy variety show featuring country music and much, much more. It's an evening you won't want to miss, and it's included in your registration fee.

Exhibit Hall

Remember, that in addition to 150 exhibitors and career recruitors, the Focus exhibit hall is a festive place with live music, roving entertainers, caricature artists, door prizes and many more surprises including a gala opening reception on Thursday evening from 5pm - 8:00pm. On Friday, there will be free morning coffee, a free lunch and a second final reception where amongst many other activities, we'll be giving away a 2008 Ford Focus automobile or $10,000 cash.

Check your conference brochure to make sure you don't miss these excellent free meals which again, are included in your registration fee.

And this year...
