Dear ATAA Councillors,

We need your help...
 
I am sending this email to all ATAA Chapter Councillors and board members, and I hope that you will find it useful in your own official and very important role with the ATAA. (If you are no longer an ATAA Councillor, please send me a short email to update our records.) 

As you probably know, the annual ATAA Conference is coming up in just a few weeks time, and we would really appreciate your assistance to help make sure that all of our ATAA members know about it. The 3-day conference is such a great opportunity for both effective learning, and networking with colleagues. We really don't want anyone to miss out on this great opportunity.

Early Bird special pricing offer ends 28th March.

At your chapter meetings in the coming weeks, please help to give the conference an extra plug. Keep handing out the promo flyers (or if you run out, just ask for more). You might find that some of your local ATAA members will be so appreciative that they will come back later and thank you for the great information.

 

It's getting urgent - There is now a sense of urgency, because until now we had only advertised the conference registrations to ATAA members (a benefit of being a member). We are now advertising it more broadly to a much wider audience, and any remaining "Meet the Speaker" workshop places might be filled very quickly. We might also hit the upper limit of the attendance numbers (we do have a capacity limit this year).

 


You can print this email, and have it handy for quick reference at your meetings. And the text below is intended for you to read selected bits to your chapter meeting as appropriate (maybe not all of it). Please see more details below, and always feel free to send us feedback and suggestions.
 
It will help us enormously (and your members)
if you could promote the conference
at your chapter meetings.

 
If you are no longer an ATAA Councillor, please send me an email to update the records - simply reply to this email. If you have something to share, please feel free to write to me.

 

best regards

The Early Bird discount will save you a whopping $150; but is only available until Friday 28 March. And the Early Bird workshops are only available to four groups of 15 people - first in best dressed. As we go to press, there might still be a small number of vacancies for these workshops.
 
Having a little difficulty with the conference fee? Pay only $200 deposit now to secure your place, and pay the balance later. Remember, due to the quality venue and ideal CBD location, we have a limited number of conference seats available.

2014 ATAA National Conference

at Rydges Melbourne (see details)
Friday-Sunday, 9-11 May 2014
(8 weeks to go and counting) 

You probably saw the special email to all ATAA members a couple of weeks ago announcing that conference registrations opened on Friday 28 February. And you might have seen in the March edition of the ATAA (emailed) newsletter in recent days that registrations are filling very fast. And that at least one of the four "Meet the Speaker" workshops is already full.
 
The official conference flyer was distributed at the February chapter meetings (see it at right). If you missed it, you can download an updated PDF version here. The updated version includes a minor revision to the list of speakers, and the details of the fourth Meet the Speaker Workshop speaker.

 

To help you to promote the conference, and explain to others about some of the holiday options while in Melbourne, we have a 2-page Conference Marketing Fact Sheet for you to download.

 

You are also very welcome to display the official conference display logo (see small version at right) at your chapter meetings. You can download a high resolution version here. Or you can use a banner style of logo (to go across the top of a page or screen). Download it here.

Conference QR code
If you have any use for a QR code, then feel free to download this one. We are utilising QR codes to help members download the docs to their smartphone or tablet. Try scanning the QR code at left to view the ATAA Conference web page on your phone or tablet. 
Conference Program Topics
The details of the 3-day conference program have been meticulously planned, and are now available from the ATAA web site. The conference will commence early Friday morning, and end by 4pm Sunday. In the meantime, see a synopsis of each presentation on the conference speakers' web page, and note the following session titles (in no particular order):
  • Issue Selection and Measuring Success
  • Monitoring System Performance
  • The VBE: Combining the power of time cycles with volatility signatures for successful trading
  • The IVPR: Understanding the effects of volatility patterns on market dynamics
  • The covered call strategy and how to incorporate it with Technical Analysis
  • Indicators to help keep you ahead of the markets
  • "Ah, this time it's different"
  • Developing a Trading Strategy with Consistency
  • Trading Candlestick Patterns Systematically using TNSC
  • Volatility Squeeze Trading TNVS
  • "What a Wonderful World"
  • Adventures of a Trader
  • Trading System Development
  • Significant Keys to Overall Results
  • Capital protection - The best way to increase profits
  • The making of a successful options trade
You can see the full conference program for each of the three full days on the ATAA web site:

flyersAccommodation options
We have arranged a special room rate for accommodation at Rydges Melbourne, the conference venue, with optional breakfast. To take advantage of the negotiated rates (basic rate is less than $200 per night!), you will need to register for the conference online, and nominate your accommodation and breakfast option.
 
And there are additional accommodation options just around the corner; but you will need to book these separately (or hook up with colleagues and share a room or unit).
It will be very helpful if you could print some of the mentioned materials 
and take them with you to your chapter meeting.

Brief reminder of very useful topics in earlier editions of these occasional emails: Sets of presentation slides for Chapter meetings and Trading Expos; and marketing tips (radio station WII-FM, and selling the sizzle, not the steak).

I do hope this information will be useful to help you in your role in your ATAA Chapter. Please promote the details to your members, and feel free to send me feedback and ideas. More ATAA member services and marketing information coming soon.

Best Regards
