Get the Skinny on Your Schedule for SGIA ’06

Welcome to the SGIA '06 Session Planner, making it easy to track the more than 50 educational sessions available. Go through it, choose your sessions, print a schedule. Keep in mind you are not registering, you're organizing your time — come back as often as you like.

Session Planner Instructions:
• Check the events you plan to attend. Take care not to select events with time conflicts. The color-coded icons in the key indicate the industry segment(s) best suited to the program. A course discription is available by clicking the seminar title.
• Click 'Create Printable Itinerary', at the bottom of this page, add personal scheduling notes in the area provided and print from your browser.

• To make changes, use your browser's "back" button to return to the planner.

• This is a planning tool only. It does not register you for classes, nor prevent you from choosing two sessions at the same time. It does not guarantee a space.

Hint to Save Money & Make Registration Easier:
Go thru the Session Planner before you register. Check the sessions you want; print the results. Count the number of seminar tickets; a full convention registration may be your best value!
