As previously announced, the dates for the 2011 conference are OCTOBER 2nd-4th.

“2011 holds enormous promise for IEBA, with a new venue for our conference at the newly renovated DOWNTOWN SHERATON. This will allow for more rooms to attendees, more space for programming and an endless supply of possibilities.
