Announcing the 2002 Fall CoachVille Coaching Conference
The largest business and corporate coaching conference ever.

CoachVille sponsors the largest business and corporate coaching conference this September in Toronto.
Special pricing is only $279 for early registration: now available!
If you are coaching small business or corporations, or plan to sometime over the next several years, then THIS is the conference to attend this fall.



Yes, it's official!  

CoachVille is now serving the business/corporate coaching market in a very big way, starting with the Fall Conference in Toronto.  If you have enjoyed what we have created for the personal/success marketplace, just wait until you see the tools that we are crafting for the corporate coaching marketplace.  It's all fresh.

Details about this conference are below.  Given the meeting room size limits of the Sheraton Towne Centre, we have only 500 seats available.  (Remember, 850 coaches attended the Las Vegas Conference last month, so space is going to be limited in Toronto.)

In the body of your email, simply jot down a few ideas as to what you're most excited about doing and when, and we'll take it from there. (We'll be back in touch to organize you into groups/tasks, get your preferred times, etc.) Thank you in advance!


Exhibitor?

We have now confirmed the social event for Friday evening of the conference. This will consist of a Mini-Expo style Networking Event with approximately 60 mini-booths, snack foods and no host bar. Slated for approximately 500-900PM local time, this promises to be an invigorating event where lots of personal and business connections can be made and strengthened.

To participate as an exhibitor, simply send an email to support@coachville.com with the words TORONTO BOOTH in the subject line, and in the body, let us know a few details about what it is you plan to showcase in your booth. We will be collecting and tracking your emails in order of receipt, and will let you know within one week whether we have space for you or not! Barring any booth proposals that we simply cannot accept (for professionalism or MLM reasons) booths will be allocated on a strict first-come, first-serve basis. Please note: as we anticipate we will run out of booth space, we will keep a waiting list and will keep you informed. Only one booth per organization will be accepted.

Further guidance on how to best participate as an exhibitor will be provided after the booth assignments are made, however, here are a few basics:

- your booth space will be 3 feet wide
- you will be sharing one 6 feet wide table with another exhibitor
- signs or displays that fit within the 3 foot tabletop space are welcome; signs that require floor space or wall space are not
