		Sponsored By: KICKOFF BREAKFAST WITH LARRY WINGET 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM   |   Ballroom COST: members $40 / non-members $50 Caustic. Irreverent. Edgy. Controversial. Sarcastic. Refreshing. Hilarious. All words used to describe best-selling author and television host Larry Winget. Winget is a philosopher of success who is unique in every way. From his style to his delivery there is simply not another speaker like him. He teaches universal principles that work for everyone from the janitor to the CEO. Blue collar, white collar and no collar audiences enjoy his straightforward approach to life and business. He pulls no punches about what it takes to be successful yet entertains and makes you laugh while stepping on your toes. He is the author of It’s Called Work For A Reason: Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault, a business book that cuts through the business clichés and attacks all the typical business wisdom we hold sacred. His previous book, Shut Up Stop Whining & Get A Life: A Kick-Butt Approach To a Better Life became a #1 National best-seller. He is also the host of the A&E reality series Big Spender where he confronts people with their outrageous lifestyle and puts them through a financial boot camp and back on the track to success. His newest book, You’re Broke Because You Want to Be, will be released in January 2008, and provides a boot-camp regiment to help those in financial distress learn personal accountability and take the steps necessary to turn their lives around. It is an inspiring account of how to achieve fiscal and financial security. A member of the International Speaker Hall of Fame, Winget delivers fast-paced, high-energy keynotes that are both educational and funny!   ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
