AFSA's 2005 Marketing Forum, slated for April 11-12 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, is shaping up to be action packed, with speakers from the Direct Marketing Association and Harrah's Entertainment expected to be part of the program.

The '05 Marketing Forum will have a new format, beginning early Tuesday afternoon (April 11th) and ending late Wednesday morning (April 12th). Executives who register for the Forum receive the added bonus of complimentary registration for the Independents Conference's Opening General Session and the keynote address by Michael Deaver taking place Tuesday morning.

Plans are underway for breakout sessions on E-Commerce 101 and 201, the FACT Act and financial literacy, as well as a presentation on the Identity Theft Action Center. Look for more details in Credit's January/February issue.
