Hi Everyone.

I should have a "pretty" convention update tomorrow that we'll post at AERC's web site.  In the meantime, I did want to give you a rundown of tentative dates and times -- at least as far as the speakers are concerned.  Committees are still trying to decide on their times and I'll update those as well.

Don't forget that the Trade Show held at AERC's Convention is FREE OF CHARGE to everyone; it's the seminars that there's a fee for.  AERC has great vendors -- both new and returning -- and you absolutely MUST make time for them and yourself.  We like to think of the vendors as having everything you need for both the horse and the rider!

Here's the lineup of speakers:
