Special Discounts
Conference Attendance
The IAEWS is pleased to announce that it has negotiated a special discount for Members wishing to attend both of the two premier conferences in our industry this fall:
• the IAEWS Fall Member Congress on October 26th
and
• the ERE Fall Conference & Expo on October 27th and 28th.
The events will be held in the same venue: The Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood, Florida, USA.
Now, you can attend both of these events AND save over $600 off the standard registration rates. Instead of paying $1,740 per person, IAEWS Members will have access to the exclusive two-fer rate of just $1,115. That one fee enables you to get together with your peers at the IAEWS conference and then get together with your customers at the ERE conference (all while enjoying some quality time on Florida’s famed Gold Coast). So, don’t wait another minute, sign up now.
Hotel Stays
The IAEWS has also been able to negotiate access for its delegates to ERE’s special discounted room rate at The Westin Diplomat. Rooms are being offered at $289 per night, plus tax. Given the popularity of these two events, the block of discounted rooms is likely to go fast, so make your reservations now. You can reach the hotel at 888.627.9057. Identify yourself as an attendee at the ERE 2010 Fall Expo.
In addition, IAEWS Member Steven Rothberg (CollegeRecruiter.com) has found what may be an even better bargain. Apparently, you can stay at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (just a “few hundred feet” away from the Westin) for about half the price of the Westin. According to the user-generated reviews on the hotel’s Web-site, it ranks right up there with the Westin … but remember the source.
Congress Sponsorships Available
As always, IAEWS conferences offer your organization a number of ways to build its brand and increase its visibility in our industry. Chief among these is our event sponsorships. The following summarizes what’s been taken and what’s still available at the Fall Member Congress:
Gold Sponsorships:
• Arbita
• ERE Media
Silver Sponsorships:
• TopUSAJobs.com
• One Sponsorship Available
Keynote Sponsorship: JobTarget OneClick
Lanyard Sponsorship: VetJobs
Video Sponsorship: Boxwood
Round Robin Sponsorship: Still Available
In addition, there is still plenty of room to insert a promotional piece in the Delegate packet.
For more information about a sponsorship, please contact the Executive Director, Peter Weddle, at 203.964.1888.
Nominations for Top 100
As many of you know, WEDDLE’s publishes a biannual guide to the online employment industry. Called the “Zagat of online employment” by the American Staffing Association, it is found in virtually every academic and public library in the U.S. and Canada and sold on Amazon.com and in the world’s leading bookstores.
WEDDLE’s is now preparing for its next edition, which will hit bookstore shelves in early 2011. This tenth anniversary edition will feature The Top 100, the editors’ pick of the best employment sites on the Internet. If you would like your site or sites to be considered for this special recognition, please email Peter Weddle for a nomination form.
Each site in The Top 100 is given full page, feature coverage in the Guide and recognized with a special icon that can be displayed online and in print collateral.
Deadline for submission is July 31, 2010.

Your IAEWS Member Benefits: The IAEWS Member-to-Member Directory
One of the most important benefits of membership in the IAEWS is the opportunity to meet and get to know one’s peers in the industry. To facilitate that interaction, the Association publishes a Member-to-Member Directory. The publication is available in the Members Only area of the IAEWS Web-site.
The Directory is updated twice each year, in the spring and fall. If you would like to make a change in your organization’s listing in the Directory, please provide that information to Peter Weddle at director@employmentwebsites.org. We expect the next updates to be made in mid October, just prior to the Fall Member Congress.
Finally, please remember that the Member-to-Member Directory is provided solely for the private use of the Association’s Members. It should not be transferred, sold, bartered, loaned or in any other way transmitted to an organization that is not an IAEWS Member or to an individual who is not a bona fide representative of an IAEWS Member without the express written permission of the IAEWS.
