The Mega Conference is a grand design with expanded

learning opportunities in three areas: benefit plans,

government, and nonprofits. Connect with your peers in an

environment where you can examine, discuss and explore

new ideas and approaches you can implement back at the

office. Take advantage of attending two days or one day. The

conference features sessions to meet the eight hour education

requirement in benefit plans and twenty-four hour yellow book

requirement.

This conference is also designed for nonprofit professionals

and board members. Simply join us for day two only, and

attend the sessions designed specifically for nonprofit

organizations. Whatever your interest this grand design gives

you flexibility and options at a great price.
