A New Approach To
Internet Business Seminars
‘Repacking New
Orleans Workshop’
New Orleans, LA – Among the 100+ events cancelled smack in the
middle of the $5 billion a
year tourism industry* in New Orleans
due to Katrina is Content
Desk’s Internet Publisher’s Mardi Gras.
This 3-day seminar /
workshop event was scheduled from Sept.
9-11, 2005, at the Hyatt
Regency New Orleans.
“(The) Hyatt Regency New
Orleans is not assessing any
cancellation fees with our
travel partners and they have assured
us that all prepaid
reservations will be refunded in full,” said
Constance Humphrey, site administrator
for Content Desk and wife
of Jack Humphrey, managing
partner in the exclusive Content Desk
Charter Members publishing
group.
Although New Orleans, the
seventh-largest convention
destination*, is right in
the middle of their busy season,
facilities, associated
hosting companies and airlines are working
with event planners and
administrators as efficiently as
possible.
“I found out that the New
Orleans airport will not have
commercial flights going in
or out for at least another two
months,” explained
Constance. “Some airlines might make you wait
until the DAY OF departure
on your ticket to issue the refund,
but once the flight is
officially cancelled, they will issue
refunds.” Having grown up in
the New Orleans area, Constance flew
in as close as possible to
help with the aftermath, not only for
her family and friends, but
her families’ business associates.
Site cancellation aside, the Content Desk
partners decided to
make lemonade out of lemons.
They repackaged their event and are
offering it as a remote
event, a new approach to Internet
business seminars using the
latest in technology and Internet
communications.
“We still want to offer
registered participants the opportunity
for a lucrative future with
an online publishing business that
provides them with the
income they’ve always wanted,” said Jack
Humphrey. “Despite
devastating once-in-a-lifetime storms!”
The focus of the Internet
Publisher’s workshop is, “How To Triple
Your Income With
Irresistible New Content Publishing, Traffic
Building and Sales
Conversion Techniques - The Three Proven Keys
To Internet Success." A
percentage of all proceeds will be
donated to the disaster
relief fund for the New Orleans regional
Red Cross office.
