[SatNews] When January winds and snow are blowing at your door, what better place to head to than Hawaii?
It may sound like a long way off, but, soon there’ll be turkey and holiday preparations! With these upcoming expenses it makes sense to save money now so you can spend it somewhere else. That’s why early reservations for PTC’14 make good sense…And that means registering by August 31, this Saturday.
The conference takes place January 19-22, 2014 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village® Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu, Hawaii. A decade and a half into the new millennium, the world is experiencing accelerating evolution and revolution, disruptive innovation and shifting alliances, new paradigms, and new threats and opportunities.
