3rd Long Island Networking Day
Monday October 3, 2005 9am - 4pm

Mark your calendar to Monday October 3, 2005, 9am - 4pm, it's Networking Time again!

Last year's event was a huge success, over 50 nail techs and 16 educators ALL told me afterward this was the best day they ever had. We had techs from several states, drive, train and fly in for the day.

Pre-registration is required, please see this link.

The hotel has blocked 5 rooms @$119/night. There are other hotel options as well within a mile of the Hilton. Please let me know ASAP if you will be needing accommodations or not so I can make sure to have enough rooms blocked at this rate. Also let me know if you are willing to share a room and I will hook you up! You are required to make your own reservation, but mention Nail Tech Networking Day and you will get the discount room rate.

Lunch will be "on-your-own" a special low-cost menu will be provided by the hotel and there are several fast food, restaurants, diners and deli's located within a 1 mile radius of the hotel.
