Early Bird Registration for Techshoret Conference 26 February 2009!


If you register for the Techshoret Communicators Conference before Dec. 31 you can save up to 450 NIS.

There are links to the registration form and the first 11 sessions already scheduled are listed below. 5 more presentations will be confirmed in the coming weeks and we will provice you with links to the actual program as soon as these sessions are in place.

If you'd like to attend the conference and save a full 220 NIS off the conference day price, register and pay before December 31, 2008. If you register closer to the conference, you'll end up paying 670 NIS - this is a great time to register...and save!

This is the lowest price that will be offered and it meets and beats last year's pricing, even though our costs have significantly risen. Contact or to directly for details.
