Happy New Year — Blending Ideas Conference and Things to Read

Did You Know?

As friends and neighbors in Pleasanton, California, HRAnswerLink and E-COMP look forward to welcoming you to nearby Napa, for two days of meetings and networking events.  Please join us this October 14-17 for a conference focused on “Blending Ideas” as we celebrate the grape harvest in California’s beautiful Napa Valley. Our conference will be located at the picturesque Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa. Since October is a very busy time in the area, we recommend you make your hotel reservation early. To make that easy, this link has been set up and a fantastic room rate of $229 has been secured.

A limited number of rooms are available (at the same rate) both before and after the conference dates. A couple of extra days in Napa is NEVER a bad thing!

More information will be forthcoming, but mark your calendar NOW for October 14-17, 2013. We look forward to seeing you!
