CONFERENCE COMMITTEE

A Word From The Chairman...

Rules Fest is the hard work of many passionate and dedicated professionals, and I am extremely fortunate to work with such a talented and accomplished group. Though our diverse backgrounds tend to pull each of us in the direction of our respective interests, we all agree that we love doing what we do. That passion binds us and spurs us to bring you the best value for your conference dollar. You will find all of us approachable and ready to answer your questions and to address your concerns.

On behalf of my colleagues, we welcome you to Rules Fest 2011 and we hope to see you there!
