Time’s a Wastin’

We are now less than a month away from the 54^th Annual IEC National Convention & Electric Expo. We’ve been telling you about all the great learning opportunities, networking, and good times you will receive if you attend our event. The real question is, have you registered yet?

If not, do it NOW. IEC has extended the regular registration rates and the hotel room block! You now have until the end of Friday, September 16, to save money on regular registration rates and discounted hotel rooms. After this deadline, the IEC hotel room block will no longer be available to attendees, and registration rates will increase.

You know what they say…time is money; and it couldn’t be truer when making travel arrangements. The longer you wait, the more it’s going to cost you. After you read this post and immediately click here to register, then click here to reserve your hotel room, don’t forget about other travel arrangements!

Are you within driving distance? Lucky you! If not, chances are that you will need to purchase airfare. The longer you wait to make these travel arrangements, the more it’s going to cost you. Bing Travel is perhaps the most convenient tool when booking airfare. It tells you when to book and when to wait. Here is what Bing has to say about booking flights out of some of our member-populous cities:

San Antonio - $255; 82% chance prices will rise in 7 days.
Denver - $279; 76% chance prices will increase.
St. Louis - $161; 50% chance prices will increase within 30 days.
Atlanta - $298; 80% chance prices will rise within 7 days.
Portland - $364, 74% chance prices will rise within 30 days.

Moral of the story? Don’t hesitate when it comes to making travel plans. Set some time aside today to register for our convention (because you won’t want to miss it), reserve a hotel room, and book your travel method (plane, train, or automobile).

See you in a month!
