25% off Facilitation Edu from Int'l Assoc of Facilitators

Take note! If you're a member of a membership organization that "recognizes a greater need for facilitation in businesses, nonprofits, governments and other civic dialogues" you could receive 25% off of conference fees.

Off the top of my head, some qualifying organizations would definitely be PMI (Project Management Institute), ODN (Organizational Development Network), and I'm sure many more. Interested organizations can contact US Regional Representative David Spann to discuss qualification. 

IAF's conference runs from April 20-23 in Chicago (at the Hyatt Regency McCormack). There are full day sessions on the 20th and 21st, and shorter concurrent sessions on the 22nd and 23rd. Single day options are available.

The program details are found at a dedicated IAF 2010 Conference website.

Here's IAF's offer: 

Chicago Conference offers Membership Rate to Non-Members
