It is entitled Becoming and Successfully Practicing as a Consultant and is for the IEEE Kansas City Section membership and other interested non-IEEE parties. It will take place in the Ballroom in the Wyndham Garden Hotel at I-435 and Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, Kansas, commencing at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, 11 July 2009. Six (6) Professional Development Hours (PDHs) are available for those requiring credits for professional certifications.

If you are an IEEE member and register for the seminar by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 5 Jun 2009, the seminar will cost you $200.00. After that, the seminar fee becomes $250.00. If you are not an IEEE member and register by the above deadline, the seminar will cost you $300.00. After the deadline, the seminar fee becomes $400.00. Note the seminar fee includes all hand-outs, break refreshments, and lunch. Please consider joining the IEEE (if you are not already an IEEE member), as you will not only save a substantial amount of cash to attend the seminar, but also become part of a global network consisting of over 350,000 engineers.

To register in all instances, please send your full name, IEEE member number, a contact telephone number, and your work or company affiliation to KCCNseminar@ieee-kc.org. Please do not send any money with your registration. We will collect that at the beginning of the seminar on Saturday, 11 July 2009. NO-SHOWS WILL BE BILLED.

PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Gary L. Blank, the seminar instructor, requires a minimum of eight (8) paid participants in to justify his coming to, and holding the seminar in, Kansas City. The IEEE Consultants Network – Kansas City therefore needs a firm response by the 5 June 2009 deadline from those wanting to attend. If there is insufficient interest (less than eight registrations) shown by the deadline, we must cancel the seminar.

IEEE members are likely to find familiar faces. Two members of the Chapter's Board have served on the Section's Board and the Chapter Director once served on the Section EXCOM.

The Chapter has golf sponsorships available for $300 each. If the Chapter gets enough sponsorships, the outing will be FREE to outing participants. These sponsorships are not limited to Conference participants.

In the event of over-registration, Conference attendees will get priority over non-attendees, then it's first-come first-serve.

This will be at the Drumm Farm Golf Club.
