We cordially invite you to join us in celebrating the 2009 “Building Bridges” Conference. For the past 23 years, the conference has always been the American Board of Hypnotherapy (ABH) Conference. This year, we are excited to have the ABH’s sister associations, The American Board of NLP (ABNLP) and Time Line Therapy™ Association (TLTA) join us to create the “Building Bridges” Conference.

As you know, we are now in the midst of some very challenging times and so we have put together a unique conference designed to help you hear new ideas, learn new tools, see old colleagues, and network with new contacts in order to gain new concepts that will help you in your professional careers. Now is the time to start your year right by attending the “Building Bridges” conference!

The conference has been designed to help you discover your hidden potential, unrealized dreams and passion in life. We are combining the wisdom of the pioneers in the field of Hypnosis, NLP and Time Line Therapy™ with a new generation of creative thinkers—providing you with cutting edge knowledge. These teachers, authors and practitioners will open your mind, providing you with numerous tools and resources to take home and use in your practice or everyday use.

We have completely redesigned the format for the conference. On Thursday and Friday, we are offering 3 intensive, pre-conference workshops with master presenters Tad and Adriana James, David Shephard and Casey Truffo. Tad and Adriana offer a course in “The Secret of Creating your Future,” David will enlighten you on the techniques for “Presenting Magically” and Casey will give you valuable information on “How To Build a Full and Rewarding Private Practice with Self-Paying Clients.”

On Friday evening, you will be captivated by our special guest speaker: Mr. Chris Attwood, co-author of The New York Times bestselling book The Passion Test. This will be an awakening for many and a chance to perhaps change direction for the rest of your life. This night is free, so be sure to bring your family and friends, it’s an evening you don’t want to miss.

Saturday morning we will get you off to a flying start! If you haven’t heard of Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, then you better come bright and early and listen to her brilliant sense of humor as she reveals “How to be Optimistic in a Pessimistic Time.” Then throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to select from 12 different educators on subjects ranging from basic hypnotherapy applications to nuts and bolts marketing plus development techniques which will allow you to grow your business.

And, you will not want to miss the exceptional Saturday night evening banquet. Not only will you have a glorious dinner, but you will be entertained with “Las Vegas Style” entertainment. Put on your dancing shoes as we will dance the night away!

After a fun-filled Saturday night, Sunday will provide more opportunities to learn from the Masters – Dr. Tad and Adriana James, David Shephard and Dick Sutphen – as we start the morning with: Hypnosis in Challenging Economic Times - a candid panel discussion about the Hypnotherapy field; where is it going? and Is Hypnosis in or out? This is a time for you to bring all of your questions.

The conference will be held at the Tuscany Hotel and Casino Resort located near the Famous Las Vegas Strip. The resort offers spacious but reasonably priced accommodations, an outstanding conference facility, and quality food and entertainment.

We look forward to starting off the New Year with each and every one of you here! You know you want to be there, don’t you?
