The needs of immediate, as well as extended family members that are involved in such processes are too many to list here. We make no claims as to providing all that is desired, indeed needed in such a website. We will however, be making every effort to listen and learn from your suggestions.

Signing Up
As explained above, you should sign-up or "Register" first, then you will have to retrieve your new "username" and "password" from your E-Mail account. Then you will come back to our Homepage and click the same "Log-In | Register" link to actually log-in to access our numerical "Family Directory" or to access our software link titled: "Click This Link To Setup Your Family's Weblog" to begin the process of setting-up your loved ones Weblog.

You may use your Username that you orginally signed-up as well as your password, however they must be added by our adminstration staff to your account. We do this to insure that multiple pages are not created by different family members.
It is the responsibility of all Speakers to constantly review the provided material on this site to make sure that all issues that are of concern to the Speakers are satisfied. As the organization of the event is fluid in nature not all information is available at this time. As details become available they will be posted here to this site.
Speaker Agenda
As the speakers have made no commitment, except for myself, agendas are not yet set and will be the responsibly of the speakers themselves. As details emerge they will be posted here to prevent redundant coverage of material by the speakers. However, a commitment to those respected agendas will become imperative by Friday the 15th of June 2012, if not sooner.
1. Jeffrey Morgan - I will be leading off with explaining the lay-out of the week and weekend. Depending on the attendees, a determination will be made at that point as to the separation of the group into two separate parts ( the novice and the experienced ). I would like to take the novice group if at all possible. A determination will be made as to these numbers when actual sales begin and personal information is collected from the attendees. The novice group will only receive one day.s instruction before re-joining the main group on day 2.
If a novice group is large enough to need a separate speaker, then Barry Wells will move into the first position, with Adrienne Smith taking day 2. Jeffrey Morgan will pick-up day 3. All speakers will participate on day 4.
I will speak on the following subjects on day 1, followed by a special session at the end of the seminar for those few novices that may be in attendance; or day 3 if a special novice class is necessary on day 1 as mentioned above.
Below is my starting material and not a complete listing as of this date (3.19.2012).
2. Adrienne Smith - Yet to commit!
3. Barry Wells - Yet to commit!
4. Rick Byrd - Yet to commit!
Speaker Responsibilities
The individual speakers are responsible for the following.
1. Arriving at the airport 48 hours or before 12:00 P.M. two days before the start of the event.2. All course materials for their day and for the end of event (ie. "back-of-room" materials).
3. Being available for attendees up until 8:00 P.M. except on Sunday.
B) Event Details - top
The event ( The Smoky Mountain Summit ) is tentatively scheduled to be held at the "Dillard House" this year, which is located in Dillard, Georgia. If for some reason the venue is not available, then we will move to a location yet to be determined in Asheville, North Carolina. All details can be explored Online at the chosen venues website.
Lodging And Transportation
Lodging And Transportation will be taken care of by the summit organizers. However, please make no mistake, you will be responsible for ALL of your own expenses which will be deducted from your compensation. All accounting should be available 10 days prior ( or very shortly there-after, as registration will close 10 days prior to the event ) to the event for your review, here Online, at this location. Everyone will be assembled at a private home in Blue Ridge, Georgia. Dinner and Breakfast will be served before departing the following day for the venue. After the event everyone will return to the home in Blue Ridge, Georgia where Dinner and Breakfast will be served once again before being transported to the airports.
Everyone will be lodged for the event at the "Dillard House" for 4 nights. As there are a number of options, you will be responsible for providing me with your choice no later then Friday the 15th of June 2012. You will have to make sure that both your airline and lodging reservations are clearly marked here, Online, at this site, before assuming you are set-to-go.
Meals are sure to be a treat as this is an international location for the south.s finest cuisine, and was indeed the motivation for marking this as a first choice for the summit. The history here is long and rich. Now in its 92nd year, The Dillard House Inn and Restaurant have become famous throughout the world for its authentic Southern hospitality.
Conference Set-up
The actual conference will be located at "The Henry E. Dillard Conference Center". With accommodations including 5 different event rooms that will accommodate between 50 to 500 persons, space will not be an issue.
Tables and Audio-Visual Equipment is available for the classroom setting. If you have special needs for this type of equipment, please let me know so that appropriate arrangements can be made. While every effort will be made by the host of the "Conference Center" to accommodate our needs, careful consideration is given to making sure that we have what we need before we all get there, and find out that a piece that is needed is either not available or not functioning. A full listing of equipment that is going to be on-site regardless, will appear at the end of this section.
Video Recording for everyones day of teaching will be provided for their future individual marketing needs.
- HD Video Recording by contracted professionals ( Details will be provided here as they become available ).
- Wireless Microphones with Amps.
- White Boards and Multi-Colored Markers.
- Laser Pointers.
C) Expectations And Marketing - top
As you will note by reviewing the available material, the conference facilities will accommodate 100 to 120 in any one of several rooms in a classroom setting. Unless the demand exceeds predictions with a new class of novice students, 50 attendees will be our goal.
For the sake of comparisons I am presenting two possible options for future development.
1. 50 Attendees @ $1995.00 = $99,750.00
2. 100 Attendees @ $995.00 = $99,500.00
As you can see both are quite close, so it really depends on the numbers. It will be easier to book 50 instead of 100, yet the cost makes it easier to book 100.
Please keep this in mind, we are going in as 3 unknowns in a remote area of the North Georgia Mountains. Modesty might be the better part of valor starting out here!
As for the tax situation, I have simply estimated here, thats why there is an accountant. So final taxes my actually go down. As for the English guy, I am not sure how accounting will handle his taxes.
As this is a joint effort among the 3 of us, it falls to each of us to undertake a strong marketing effort among our respective networks to achieve the goal of selling out the summit. However, this is not an ends to a means as other areas of marketing will be employed, such as local advertisements and traditional CPA and PPC.
