If you haven't got a product/service & list up and running, then listening to the speakers is going to be well worth your time. Once you've got something in place, then the "networking" will probably be better, although there's always more you can learn... cheers, Matt function sbmgOptinValidateForm760(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm760' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm760' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

Hi Bob,
it really depends on where your business is.
when I went to that first seminar in the UK I had only recently launched my first “IM” info product/ebook, so it was great timing for finding new JV partners, although I also found quite a few of the presentations useful.
If you haven’t got a product/service & list up and running, then listening to the speakers is going to be well worth your time.
Once you’ve got something in place, then the “networking” will probably be better, although there’s always more you can learn…
cheers,
Matt

S. is right in my back yard. Above you did mention that you already had a business and began joint venturing with others. What if you haven't a business? And in your opinion which is more important: Listening to the speakers and attending the seminars, or socializing and networking in the hotel and bars?? Please don't say both. There has to be one that was a bit more enriching to. Accent on en-RICH-ing ? bob function sbmgOptinValidateForm200(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm200' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm200' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }
