Unfortunately bad timing for anyone in Australia or New Zealand. 11am EST is 3am Melbourne time, 6am New Zealand (so they might be able to make it) and 1am western side of Australia. Would have loved to attend but I need my sleep :-(

I DO wish we could somehow work it out so literally everyone could attend! BUT we WILL be archiving the text from the event for those who are unable to make it

Hello Tess:

I am looking forward to her seminar. I have heard Diana speak as well as read some of her materials. She has excellent information to share. I can't wait to hear what she has next to offer.

Thanks for the heads up!

Great! This is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm so glad you will be archiving the text from this event. I cannot attend either but am very interested. Looking forward to it.

And thanks to Diana for offering it!

This sounds like a wonderful event and very much needed. I am looking forward to it!

That is great. I read her book for the first time two days ago on Saturday. Then to be unexpectly invited to her seminar - the timing could not be more than perfect because Im new.

Looking forward to it...

I'm glad to hear it will be archived! I have to be on site to meet with a client between 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. CST and I thought I was going to miss it!

I'm hoping to attend as well, but may have to be at a client's. If not, when can we expect the information to be archived and available?

Thanks so much - I hope I can make it!!

#12 (**permalink**) 02-25-2008

Hmmm, good question...it won't be immediate - probably within a month or so.
Hope you can make it!

Wow, what a great session from Diana! Looking forward to more informative sessions from her and others in the very near future.

Thanks Tess..

Yes, Diana was amazing - she was so great to come and share her expertise, let us pick her brain AND offer the great free resources she has available. Definitely a great session!

We had a really nice turnout as well - there were LOTS of members there, though many remained quiet, I'm sure we all got something out of this.

I'm not a pro at PR but I've been writng releases for myself and clients for over two years and I still learned so much today.

Thanks Diana!
