With only a few weeks to go, Pat Lovell and Sean Roach have finally announced who will be speaking at their UK seminar.

The list so far is as follows:

Armand Morin
Les Eveneshen
Adam Ginsberg
Debra Thompson Roedl
Alan Forrest Smith
Mike Koenigs
Brett McFall
Dr. Mike Woo Ming
Brian Kosobucki

They’ve promised 14 speakers in total so please keep an eye on this blog for further announcements.

The hotel they’ve chosen is a 5 star venue close to Heathrow airport – the Radisson Edwardian Heathrow Hotel (UB3 5AW).

I’ve now booked the seminar, train travel and hotel accomodation.

After last year’s seminar (see Britpack Live Seminar) I have decided not to dash home straight away on the Sunday and have booked to stay an extra day and then return on the Monday.

Also, as always, I will be arriving on the Thursday evening so I am fresh and ready for the presentations starting Friday at 9am.

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Be sure to book the hotel quickly before places fill up. Best room rate when I called was £60 ex VAT for Friday, Saturday and Sunday (an eye-opening £175 for Thursday!). If you are attending a seminar then it is important to stay at the same hotel – you do not want to be missing the late night sessions in the bar!

I’ve confirmed my train tickets for the trip to London to attend the UK Focus Marketing Event in October.

The sales page hasn’t been released yet but my ticket was purchased last October and I am raring to go.

[Addition 22/08/08: A new page has been uploaded where you can see video testimonials from the US event, just go here:

http://www.focusmarketingseminars.com/ukevent/index.php ]

So, put the dates in your diary – Friday the 17th October until Sunday the 19th October. Ignore the initial announcements, these are the real dates – Pat Lovell confirmed it himself.

The venue – somewhere in London (we don’t know where yet).

Pat and Sean held the US version of the event in Washington DC last weekend and attracted some big names to speak including Stephen Pierce and Armand Morin. If you were lucky enough to see the notifications, you would’ve caught the presentations as they were broadcast live on the internet.

I managed to catch a lot of the seminar ‘live’ and it looked great but at the same time I couldn’t help but realise that the presentations are just a small part of the event.

Staying at home and watching a seminar online just doesn’t compare with leaving the laptop at home, jumping on a plane or train and gathering with loads of other marketers in a nice hotel.

I’ve no doubt that the attendees and speakers were in the bar every night, chatting away, drinking and networking. It was the same at the Coventry seminar last October and the Birmingham seminar the year before. And it’ll be exactly the same in London in October.

So, you’ve got 57 days’ notice now and the sales letter should be ready in the next few days from what I’ve been told. I highly recommend you get yourself a ticket for the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event.

The dates for the Focus Marketing Seminars UK Event have been released, but it is believed that many of the initial reports are incorrect.

Several bloggers are reporting the event as beginning on Wednesday the 15th of October and running for 3 days, finishing on Friday the 17th of October.

However, as an attendee at last year’s Focus UK event, I am certain that the actual dates are the 17th, 18th and 19th of October.

The 2008 event will be held in London and will be hosted by Sean Roach and Pat Lovell.

I’ve just gone through a box in my spare room and found a load of seminar videos which I would like to pass on rather than throw away.

Asking price? Free to anyone prepared to pay toward the postage or come and collect from me.

Here’s what I found:

(1) The Affiliate Profitmaker Seminar featuring Declan Dunn, Patrick Anderson, Andrew Reynolds, Ola Edvardsson and Michael Hill. There are 6 VHS videos in the set and the seminar is from around 2001. This is classic affiliate marketing material.

(2) The Internet Profitmaker Seminar featuring Corey Rudl, Kirt Christensen, Marlon Sanders, Andrew Reynolds and more. 15 VHS videos in this set, the seminar was from the year 2000 as far as I can gather.

(3) The Profitmaker 5 Seminar featuring Bill Myers, Andrew Reynolds, Vince Stanzione and lots of other speakers. There are 20 VHS videos in this set and the event was filmed in 1999 according to the copyright notice.

(4) The “Las Vegas Meeting” featuring Corey Rudl, Marlon Sanders, Jonathan Mizel, Fred Gleeck, Robert Allen, Terry Dean, Yanik Silver, Derek Gehl and many more speakers. This looks to be the Internet Marketing Super Conference 3 from Carl Galletti which was held in either 2000 or 2001. Classic internet marketing material. 33 video tapes make up this seminar footage.

If you are interested in any of these sets, please let me know by leaving a comment below. I’ll get back to you asap to arrange delivery / collection.

Make sure to leave me your email address or phone number. Your comment will not be shown.

Thanks,

Ben

It’s short notice, I know, but this weekend Steve Foley is holding an internet marketing and property related seminar in Manchester – the “Entrepreneur Weekend”.

I’m booked into the hotel from Friday and looking forward to the line-up on Saturday – the “Money Maker Boot Camp”. The Sunday event is called the “Women Entrepreneur Summit” and I am assured by Steve that everyone is welcome, not just the ladies.

Here’s what Steve had to say about the two days in a recent email:

“Right now many people are stretched financially, while others remain liquid financially. There is always great crossover at our events.

What do I mean by that?

Well, the people who are primarily involved in property are drawn to the internet experts who are cashflow-rich.

The Internet players are drawn to the property experts for investment & capital growth.

The smart players are already playing both camps and the most successful property players are very ‘savvy’ about internet marketing.

eConfex events focus on Wealth Creation and ways to create passive and multiple income streams using little or none of your own cash.

Is this of Interest? – if so

You may want to check out our forthcoming Entrepreneur Weekend in Manchester.”

I must admit I am turning up early to try and get a chance to mingle with the speakers before the seminar. I managed to do so successfully at the hotel last year.

The ticket price of the Entrepreneur Weekend in Birmingham last year was £348.97. This year it is even more of a bargain!

Anyway, I will be at Steve’s event this weekend, staying over on the Friday night and attending on the Saturday.

I highly recommend you try and get there too.

These seminars are superb for renewing enthusiasm, generating ideas and making valuable contacts.

Come and find me on the Friday night or Saturday so we can have a chat over a few drinks.
