How would you like to be part of a gathering with
world-renowned speakers and attendees from all around the world...
... FROM YOUR HOME via PHONE or INTERNET
... AND FREE REGISTRATION TO ATTEND

Yes, the best part of this virtual conference is that you can experience every moment of the Comfort for Caregivers Telesummit from the comfort of your own home…and you have a FREE ticket to be part of all the interviews either by phone or by a webcast on the internet. You can also listen to all the calls via the internet for a full 24 hours after each interview.

How many times have you had to miss going somewhere because you weren't able to be away from your loved ones who need you? Isn't it about time you had the opportunity to connect with many others facing similar challenges as you?

In honor of National Caregivers Month, we have assembled a team of experts – physicians, financial consultants, national speakers, healers, an attorney, and professional caregivers – to help you succeed in your valuable role as a caregiver.

Through live interviews with our experts, the Comfort for Caregivers Telesummit will present valuable knowledge and insightful advice on key issues impacting your daily life. Calls will begin November 3, 2009 and continue through November 19, 2009.

You may be asking, why is this event free…and is it really free?

We wanted to make sure as many people as possible could hear all of this good information. We are both caregivers of our parents and know just how tough it can be to handle it all.

And yes, it is totally free for you to listen to the calls live via the webcast…not even any long distance charges! And you have a full 24 hours to listen to the audio replay if you are in a different time zone or are busy at the time of the call.

There are purchase options for those of you who would prefer to have downloadable audios, transcripts, or CDs. More about those and some very special bonuses to support you in getting the very most out of the experience awaits you on the next page!

All of the live calls and replays are our gift to you as a special thanks for the caring work you do.

We are so looking forward to connecting with you!
