Looking forward to it Linda - Thanks!

[Jim Froling]

Wow! Just registered and feel like I have a ticket for the All Star Game.

[Linda Buquet]

Look forward to having you join us Chris!

Yep Jim it's an all-star line-up for sure!

The one we have coming for you at the end of the month is going to be really good too.

[Linda Buquet]

We have almost 800 registered and only have 1000 seats.

We still have a couple more mailings going out so I'm pretty sure this webinar will be full by tomorrow afternoon. If you've not signed up yet, I'd do it today to be on the safe side.

Also FYI, I just made a separate forum section to house all related InsideLocal webinar info and announcement about upcoming webinars. (You'll love the next one we have coming your way!)

I'll also be adding a Q & A section for each webinar, since we may not be able to get to everyone's questions during the event. So if you have unanswered questions - ask them in the new thread I'll be starting specifically for this 1st webinar and I'll invite the panelists to come and answer them.
