THE FINAL INVITATION! NORTHWEST MIDWEST SPEC-FEST is HERE!

IT'S HERE AND WAITING FOR YOU!

NORTHWEST - MIDWEST SPEC-FEST

DEAR MEMBER,

AS WE PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE WEEKEND, WE WANT TO SHARE AN IMPORTANT UPDATE TO OUR ORIGINAL PROGRAM. BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY PARTNER PARTICIPATION HAS CHANGED, WE HAVE REVISED THE EXHIBIT PORTION OF OUR NORTHWEST EVENT. SOME INDUSTRY PARTNERS WILL STILL BE JOINING US, ALONG WITH A REFRESHED SATURDAY SCHEDULE DESIGNED AROUND EDUCATION, CONNECTION, AND FUN.

WE'VE TAKEN THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REVISE SATURDAY'S SCHEDULE, WITH PLENTY OF CHANCES TO CONNECT, ENJOY FUN ACTIVITIES, AND WIN GREAT PRIZES ALONG THE WAY.

YOU'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO GO HOME EARLY TO BE WITH YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US.

WARM REGARDS,

THE OAO TEAM
