Just want to shoot a message to everyone that we have the number of rooms already booked as of last week. We are about 65% full at this point. If you plan on coming, book your hotel room before they go out. I'm not holding any extras this year so if you don't get a room you'll have to go to the overflow hotel about 3 miles down.

Hello Atlanta friends! We can wait to see you in a couple days! RoundBox Offices are generous enough to give us space for this event. Its a great facility and I have lots of free stuff and gifts in store for everyone.

Here is the parking information for everyone:

DAYTIME EVENT PARKING AT ROUNDBOX GLOBAL/KING PLOW ARTS CENTER

Due to business hour parking restrictions at the King Plow Arts Center, our normal evening event parking at Entrance 3 is restricted. Please use our free Daytime Event Parking Area at Entrance 9 (see map below). It is about a block?s walk away from our building. Please use the crosswalk at Joseph E Lowery to get to the West side of the street. Roundbox Global is not located in the main building complex at the King Plow Arts Center. The Roundbox Global offices are located in Suite 100 of the 981 Joseph E Lowery Building which is directly across Marietta Street from the main King Plow Arts Building. The entrance is on the Marietta Street side of the building.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT park in any spots that are reserved. If you park in a spot that has been marked by a sign that says restricted, you will be towed.

Here are some photos to help you

Hello Denver folks, just an FYI that we got discounted parking at $7 at the Denver Athletic Club. The session will take place in the Petroleum Room.

I will be there as early as 8am setting up. Rob Rusher will be the first speaker at 9am, so please arrive early.

After the event is over I will be hanging out at the nearby Crowne Plaza in the hotel bar. Suggests for an out-of-towner would be great!

We understand that it is difficult to take time off for almost an entire week to attend a conference. While the event and learning is very useful, we all still have to maintain a proper work flow.

That's why at CFUnited we have created several work stations which provide a quiet and private area for attendees to work. All provided for FREE.

This is not an internet cafe, instead it is supplied with power strips, tables, seating, coffee, snacks, and excellent wireless Internet. We've upped the expectations this year.

If you have to check in to work and get those billable hours completed on time and under budget, we want to make sure we help you keep your end of the deal.

We are focusing on your needs and your companies needs.

Please register today you have everything to gain.

Areas highlighted in Orange are designated work rooms for multiple work stations.
