Planning has already begun for the 2006 Independents Conference & Exposition set for March 29 through April 1, 2005. The event, now in its 23rd year, will be held at The Westin La Cantera Resort in San Antonio, Texas. Attendees this year will have access to more information and networking opportunities than ever while saving both time and money.

The Independents continues to improve the program with hard-hitting sessions and networking opportunities. In addition, the AFSA Board of Directors will meet on March 29 in conjunction with this conference. More information will follow this fall.
