OK, this is the "official" B&P thread.

I will update this first post regularly to provide info., so it will be easy to get info without wading through all the fun posts. :)

What we are doing NOW:

SteveO is checking into various options for a nice conference room.

We can get last year's for $1500 (total for 3 days, before taxes/additional charges).

He's checking into a nicer spot, and waiting for them to get back to him.

:groove: Thanks Steve! :groove:

*********

What we have so far:

-B&P 2009 will be in Phoenix, for 3 full days (Fri, Sat, Sun)

-Most probably Feb or March. However, March is VERY booked (and expensive) due to Spring Training.

-Tentative Schedule:

Thursday
5pm Early dinner for those who are in town
7:30pm Cashflow for those who want, Bar hopping for those who want
(I will join the cashflow group as soon as I get KT to sleep)

Friday
9am-5pm Sessions
6pm-9pm Dinner at a local (walk to) spot
9pm-? Men escort the ladies to Chippendales Club (just kidding)

Saturday
9:30 am-5:30pm Sessions (different format from Fri)
6:30-8:00 Dinner at a local (walk to) spot

Sunday
9:00 am Breakfast for those of us who don't drink ;)
10:00 Fastlane Mastermind Sessions (all day)
plus time to network and plan Fastlane Mentors for '09-10.

*******

Please feel free to contribute any ideas or thoughts! :)
