117th IAFE Convention One of The Best
The IAFE 117th Annual Convention -- “IAFE the Network” -- held at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., was one of the most successful ever. The Paris hotel hosted the convention for the third straight year. The courtesy shown by the hotel staff and management showed why it is one of the premier locations on the Las Vegas strip. The number of pre-registered delegates was down about 5% from 2006, according to IAFE President and CEO Jim Tucker. “Although attendance was down, the enthusiasm was at an all-time high. The 2007 International Convention was one with attitude,” said Tucker.
