Welcome to Ungated

This year we have added a new feature to our national conference, a conference blog.  Written by our own Chris Durso and Christie Chapman, the blog is designed to give you a taste of conference, help you plan your trip, and highlight some of the fabulous educational programs that will be available.  Chris and Christie have already begun publishing important information about the education tracks, keynote speakers, and fun stuff to do in Palm Springs.

If you are attending conference you definitely need to check it out to help plan your stay  and if you can't make it this year it will help you get a sense of what you are missing.

See you all next week in Palm Springs.

It is hard to believe that our national conference is less than 3 weeks away.  Conference this year will be May 3 - 6 at the Westin Mission Hills Resort in Palm Springs, California.  Already more than 500 CAI members and guests have registered for this event.  You can learn more about conference and register at:  http://www.caionline.org/shop/conference/index.cfm .

This year we have a number of new education and networking opportunities at conference including a Welcome Reception on Wednesday evening, membership meetings for each of the Membership Representation Groups on Saturday, and expanded educational tracks throughout the conference.  And all of your old favorites will be there as well, including 2 inspirational general session speakers, a multitude of educational sessions, and a fantastic part under the stars on Friday evening.

I look forward to seeing many of you in Palm Springs the first week in May.
