EXCITING SPEAKERS PLANNED FOR THE NALMCO 2010 CONVENTION
Nationally recognized speakers will provide immediate return on investment. Networking with NALMCO members during meetings, trade show, and evening events will be well worth the time and travel! Dynamic timely session topics and speakers:
John Sileo, our keynote speaker will present two sessions on Identity Theft: "Privacy Means Profit: Protecting Information Assets." American businesses were the source of more than 280 million stolen customer identities last year alone. The average cost of recovery from data breach was $6.6 Million in 2009. Good personal privacy habits lead to safer data within your business - and safe data is profitable data. For the attendees and spouses: "Think Like a Spy: Bulletproofing Your Identity." Identity theft is America's fastest growing crime and the #1 concern among all Americans. This crime affects one in every ten households every year. This presentation will give attendees the knowledge, skills and plan of action to proactively protect valuable information assets, personally and professionally.

MEXICO - SAFETY INFORMATON: Recent media attention has focused on Mexico and concerns regarding violence and serious security challenges south of the United States border. The safety of NALMCO members is very important. We will continue to share the facts and keep attendees informed and educated about travel within Mexico. We will continue to do so prior to and throughout the Convention. Tourism is the #2 gross national product in Mexico. Resort areas and tourism zones are highly protected. The tourism corridor of Los Cabos, San Jose' del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, where the NALMCO Convention is being held, are considered tourism zones and resort areas. Current travel warnings for U.S. citizens specify the Northern Mexican border cities of Tijuana, Nogales, Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey and Matamoros. These cities are not tourist destinations and are located 1,000+ miles from the location of the NALMCO Convention. While millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year, violence in the country has gained visibility. It is imperative that U.S. citizens understand how best to avoid dangerous situations in Mexico. Utilize common–sense precautions. Communicate your itinerary with family and friends, visit only legitimate business and tourist areas and during daylight hours, stay with groups when away from the hotel, exercise caution in unfamiliar areas, and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
