We are in the early planning stages for First Event 2014, (“What do you want to be when you grow up?”), January 22-26, 1014 again at the Peabody Marriott.

Help us make a vital and growing conference even better next year!  We are currently seeking volunteers to join the First Event Committee and help plan and manage  the conference in two important positions:

• Transportation Coordinator
• Evening Entertainment Assistant Coordinator

If interested, please e-mail us at info@tcne.org with your name and contact information. Please include a short description of yourself and where you would like to help. Thank you!

Don’t miss out on all the fun this January 23-27! TCNE members save an 10% or 20%. Some activities have limited space and registering early guarantees your place. First Event 2013 will be the biggest and best ever with your support.

We highly recommend registering for the conference online, especially if you are planning to attend any of the dinner functions. We must give the hotel the meal counts the day before the event starts to ensure there is enough food. Last year, we sadly had to turn down a number of people for dinner tickets who made last minute decisions at the event. We encourage you to reserve your place early and the best way to do that is to register online now.

Online Registration will close Friday, January 18 at 11:59 PM. Please register online before then or you must register in person at the conference the following week.

Visit the First Event Registration page for details and sign up either online or by mail:  http://www.firstevent.us/registration/
