A Message from the President

Registration for the 2012 Annual Conference opened with a bang on Monday, April 23^rd.  There were more than 100 members registered for the conference in the first ten minutes.  By the end of the day there were 372, and by the end of the week it hit 500.  We really don’t keep stats on this activity from year to year, but this has to be a record.  I want to thank Eddy Emmons, Chief Deputy Clerk, CA-N, and the point of contact for the registration procedure, including overseeing the hotel registration process.  The main hotel sold out in the first couple of days and the overflow hotels began to find their registrations picking up.  NCBC began working with its event planner to add additional hotels to accommodate the larger than expected number of registrants.  This is a good problem to have.  We’re pleased to see the level of interest in what has become an excellent education program that again has exceeded expectations by offering 35 breakout sessions appealing to a wide variety of staff throughout the bankruptcy courts.  The Administrative Office and the Federal Judicial Center are welcome partners in assisting to plan the educational offerings that conference attendees will find to be an exceptional value.  For more information on the program visit the local host court website at http://canb.uscourts.gov/NCBC2012/index.html.
