Important conference news — prices DROP
The prices for the conference have DROPPED (see the new prices at the bottom of the page). We have done this because of the hard times businesses are going through and to make the conference more affordable for payroll professionals in small- to medium-sized organisations.
Anyone who has already booked will get a refund for the difference in the rates. We are also extending the early bird rates until 18 July 2008.
Each conference attendee will receive a free bundle of payroll-related books from CCH:

The target is to have 200-plus payroll practitioners attending this year’s conference along with vendor displays.
