According to the
SBA, one of the top three reasons businesses fail is
misspent marketing dollars. This one-day
conference will focus on this topic and also on sales skills.
Absolute experts who
normally charge thousands of dollars a day are coming together
to help SCORE Atlanta reduce Georgia's small business failure
rate. It's six percent above the national average!

PRE-REGISTRATION
Pre-register
below. You will not be considered registered until payment is
received. Please pay online when you register.
Online
Payment Only. Save $60 by registering in advance.
Walk-ins will
pay a higher registration ($129.00) and will not
be accommodated until after pre-registrants are taken care of.
Note:
The instructions on the payment page may be slightly
different because we can not change the info on our backend
site. The registration and payment instructions on this page
should be followed (also see Refunds section below).
CHECK-IN AT
EVENT
Check-in is at 8:00 AM - 8:45AM so come early. Add 10
minutes to your schedule to give yourself enough time to park
in the deck and enter the building. Training starts at 9:00AM
sharp! Don't lose your seat by being late.
DIRECTIONS / TRANSPORTATION
Directions to the GTRI Conference Center at Georgia Tech
have been updated. If you've been to our previous events at
Georgia Tech, GTRI was formerly the GCATT building.
GTRI and Georgia
Public Broadcasting share a parking garage (free to park).
The closest
MARTA stop is Arts Center/14th Street.
A bus leaves from this station and will bring you to the
GTRI Conference Center. See the MARTA link for details.
BREAK / LUNCH
Included
with your registration is morning coffee and a boxed lunch
from a local restaurant. You cannot bring food inside the
auditorium (because of the electrical outlets at each seat), so we have secondary space reserved
for those who stay in for lunch. Please use that time to
network with people you don't know.
If you have
special dietary restrictions, please bring your own lunch.
LODGING
No special arrangements have been made for this conference.
However, there are several hotels in the area.
HANDOUTS
SCORE is a non-profit, and printing handouts for hundreds of
attendees is beyond our budget. We will post a link to the
handout a few days before the conference (we'll send an
email).
If you want to
use the handout during the training, you must print it and
bring it with you. Please put a reminder on
your calendar to bring your handout. We will not
have copies on site. This helps to keep our costs down so we
can keep the registration fee as low as possible.
REFUNDS
No refunds will be given. No registration transfer to a future
date can be honored. Feel free to transfer your
registration to someone else (let us know in advance by
sending an email to scoreatlanta at joimail.com).
