The 10th annual Northeast Regional Conference (NERC), held at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, New Jersey, is produced by the Tri State Coordinators in conjunction with the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC).

Our keynote speaker this year will be Tom Chillemi from Conde Nast Bridal Media. Tom will be presenting information from the 2006 American Wedding Report.  This overview of the bridal market is based on a mail survey sent to 6,000 engaged and newly married women to gather data on their wedding spending and bridal media usage.

Other topics include making/renewing your wedding business vows, business ethics, civil unions, blogs, podcasts, time management techniques for planners and much, much more!

You may register by mail, phone, fax or email. Please note that by sending your check or paying by credit card you are confirmed. There will be no confirmation mailed out or emailed.  We look forward to seeing you there! Feel free to pass the word on to any of your peers and colleagues, too!
