NBS & AERho - Region Two Convention

Where : Freed-Hardeman University, Henderson, Tennessee

When : October 28-30, 2005

Theme : "No Excuses"

Registration Fee : $25 per person within region (NBS members)

This is half the cost of recent convention fees thanks to our local corporate sponsors...NO EXCUSES!

Accommodations : The Old English Inn Hotel and Convention Center, Jackson, TN
Room Cost: $55 per night (see hotel info sheet)
That's less than $14 per person per night with four people per room…NO EXCUSES!

Awards Banquet: Knoxville hosted a wonderful awards banquet last year. We would like to keep that tradition going by hosting a Saturday night awards banquet as well.

Agenda : The FHU Chapter is taking a different approach to this year's regional convention. We are mixing sessions with “Workshops” to get students hands-on training and experience with some of the technology that is available to radio and television studios today. We think you will like this approach and we believe it will be more beneficial to the students attending the convention.

Product Demos: Representatives from Avid, New Tek, Panasonic, and others will be set-up most of the day on Saturday in our meeting area lobby to showcase their hardware, software, and other accessories.

Professionals: We will be adding a session just for the advisors and other NBS professionals who attend the convention.

Shopping/Eating: You bet! lots of it nearby!
