Thinking about attending TINC 2009? That’s great, let us help your case!

We have outlined several helpful ideas for communicating to your management team the critical nature of attending this invaluable conference.

• Education and Training: TINC is nothing like other conferences that are sales-centric in design and intent. TINC is the Industry’s Turnaround Network meeting where all company turnaround networks come to meet and share knowledge every year (while obeying a strict code of conduct to ensure confidentiality and compliance with antitrust laws). Immediately following the conference, many companies meet on their own to organize their takeaways, set their own company’s goals, sharpen their saw, and recharge their knowledge.


• Benchmarking: This year and going forward, TINC will have a half-day track that provides actual benchmarks of where your turnaround practices stack up against other companies (Results will be blinded). Such quantification is not available at any other conference.


• Gather and Share Information: Expand your personal skill set and knowledge base and add immediate value to your organization by learning established best practices and new strategies from experts and peers that are based on real-world testimony and case studies.


• Owners Only: Unlike other conferences that seem to be passive and non-participatory, TINC is an actual working session requiring the knowledge and engagement of attendees. This is not a vendor sponsored fun activity that is light on content, information, and takeaways.


• Advanced NaviTrack Users Group: During this Track users identify functional improvements and features that AP-Networks includes in future releases at no cost to users. Such changes could cost anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars for each change. If your organization gets one needed change into NaviTrack, this alone might save your organization $20K – enough to pay back the cost of 6 or 7 attendees.


• Visibility into Next Generation Tools: Discover the latest AP-Networks solutions through product demonstrations, case studies, and best practice tracks.


• Networking: TINC is an opportunity to spend three days among dedicated turnaround professionals from all over the world to take advantage of the opportunity to learn from each other as well as build new relationships and contacts within the industry.


• Your own Company Network Meeting: TINC provides the opportunity to meet with your own company's turnaround network during the afternoon of day three (April 29).  Conference Rooms for your organization will be provided at no additional cost on a first-come, first-serve basis.

After attending TINC, as an added benefit to your organization, you can:

• Train Your Colleagues: Present an internal training session highlighting what you've learned at the conference to your colleagues. All collected presentations from the conference will be made available for you to share with your co-workers.


• Implement Information: Apply what you've learned at TINC to make a difference. Information you gain here - from productivity enhancements to cost savings - when compared to the cost of the conference, could easily justify your attendance and others at next year’s TINC!

We look forward to seeing you in Houston!
