I just returned from Livonia, Michigan (Detroit area) after presenting a Special Education Law and Advocacy training program. What a great conference! I wanted to say a special thanks to Steve and Staci Bockmann for all of their efforts to make the conference such a success.
In February 2008, Steve and Staci of The Great Expectations Speech, Sensory Integration and Learning Center contracted with us to host a conference on April 23, 2008 in the Detroit area. We tried to talk them out of that date, believing that they needed more time. Here I am with Steve, Blake, and Staci.
Despite the short planning & preparation time, the conference was SOLD OUT almost two weeks in advance, with 500 attendees. The conference paid for itself, with funds left over for future conferences and other events.
People who called during the law few days we were told that there was no space. Many expressed their intent to come anyway, in hopes that there would be “no-shows” and they could attend.
I was so impressed by Steve and Staci’s organizational and promotional skills that I interviewed them. Listen to the interview. When you hear their story, you will be in awe of their motivation and energy too. Download podcast.
Thanks again,
Pete
FInd out more about Steve and Staci, the Livonia Conference, and how to put on a successful program. Here’s how.
I really wanted to Thank You for coming to Michigan this was my first Wrights Law conference and it could not have come at a better time. I have started using the tips and what a diffrence.
Thank you
I was at the conference too – my second time attending a Wrights Law conference and my first with Pete. I smiled at the end because I went with a first timer and she felt soooo empowered and ready to work hard for her daughter’s rights. The same way I felt after my first conference.
Keep up the great work – you point so many of us on the right path to advocating for our children.
Michelle
Pete,
I really enjoyed your conference in Michigan. You are a skilled presenter with wonderful ideas. It was kind of you to be so generous in introducing the attorneys in the audience, and allowing us to be part of your panel!
Thanks for all you do!
