<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-454" title="fast_track" src="http://www.mattmarkins.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fast_track1-300x109.jpg" alt="fast_track" width="300" height="109" /></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left">
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Dear D6 Attendee, </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> Many of the conferences I have enjoyed the most have had smooth and efficient on-site check in and registration systems.  The D6 Team is working overtime to give you the fastest, friendliest registration experience possible: one that is so efficient you will not have to wait in a single line!  This is what led us to develop our own <em>FastTrack</em> on-site check-in system. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="center"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> It&#8217;s really pretty simple. If we have your <strong>completed registration profile by September 1</strong>, we will ship your lanyard, name tag, and info card ahead of time!  This way, once you arrive, all you have to do is come by the <em>FastTrack</em> station to pick up your conference program and turn in your info card! </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="center"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">In order to qualify for the <em>FastTrack</em> Registration, we need the following:</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" align="left"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><strong>Individual Registrations: </strong><br />

</li>
<li>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">An updated and accurate email address that belongs to each person in your group</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">You can check or update your profile at the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.d6conference.com/" target="_blank">D6 Conference website</a></span>. Click on registration and log in to edit your profile and the profile of those in your group.</span><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> As long as this is completed by September 1, you are all set for the <em>FastTrack</em> registration and we will ship your lanyard, name tag, and info card in advance. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">If you are part of a group and are not sure if this has been completed, please contact your group leader right away. </span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just found this old Mac ad.  Sure it&#8217;s old, the computer looks like a dinosaur, the music sounds different, etc. However, notice a few things:</p>
<ul>
<li>the camera angles</li>
<li>the basic computer system (monitor/tower, keyboard, &amp; mouse)</li>
<li>simplicity</li>
<li>clear message</li>
</ul>
<p>Mac is using the same formula that they were using in 1984 &amp; it&#8217;s still working.  Some things have changed, but the basic formula of the way they communicate a clear message has remained the same.  Brilliant.</p>
