Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Hundreds of Help Desk Professionals, including industry experts, legends, vendors and practitioners, will come together October 26-28, 2005, at the spectacular Hotel del Coronado in San Diego for the 7th Annual Conference for Help Desk Professionals.  As always, each year our event brings updated conference formats, up and coming industry speakers, some of the most recognized names in our industry, and loads of networking opportunities.

We are offering an exclusive opportunity to get a glimpse into today’s most successful help desks and service desks.  The exploration into current and future technology solutions will include less of the same old thing and more fresh new ideas.  We are offering comprehensive workshops where you actually apply what you are learning during the session.  The opportunity to tap into the brainpower of movers and shakers across industries in both the private and public sectors will be afforded at this one of a kind event.

You will get a “live from the front-line” perspective so you can benefit from practical, actionable information on strategy, vision, and execution having a visionary outlook into 2006 and beyond.

We have tons of ITIL for you!! You have the motivation to quickly get ITIL started in your organization. Therefore, we have brought you an entire track on ITIL, plus three different ITIL certification courses.

You'll want to take copious notes when industry experts Brenda Iniguez, Brad Worthley, Dan Rickwalder, and Bill Price share their expertise to inspire, inform and influence your leadership and management decisions.  Eric Rabinowitz, Brad ,and others will be doing two-hour workshops on topics of Leadership, Workforce Management, and Service Level Agreements.  Rick Joslin, the authority on Knowledge Management is going to teach you how to be successful with the technology that contributes the most to offering a self-service model.

Launching a new generation of industry speakers, in our no-holds barred case study sessions, you'll hear the secrets of some of the most progressive Help Desks from leading Northwest companies like Starbucks (Mary Lou Blakely), REI (David Stockwell), and Port of Seattle (Ernie Hayden).

Dru Phelps from Benchmarkportal will share a wealth of information on metrics in her pre-con.  Her sessions always sell out so sign up early for this one.

And saving the best for last, Eric Chester our main keynote will leave you with an unforgettable impression about people on the frontline and how critical they are to our companies.  Eric will be autographing his book, "How to Get the Frontline to Give a Damn" just after his keynote on Wednesday morning.
