GLWN's 2012 "Making It Here" Summit (slated for July 11-12 in Cleveland) will offer information-packed workshops that will surely make the most of your days in Cleveland. But what will you do with your nights while you're in town?

The city that sits on America's North Coast is filled with a wealth of cultural attractions, fine dining and ethnic restaurants, vibrant nightlife and exciting professional sports. Cleveland is such a fun and affordable town to visit that a couple of days just won't do your stay justice. So, beginning in March when the summit registration opens, GLWN is going to make your trip to our fair city a little easier to navigate.

For starters, we're giving away FOUR two-day "Cleveland Plus Passes" which covers your admission to 10 major attractions in and around the city, plus gives you valuable discounts at restaurants, watering holes, entertainment hot spots, and retail shops downtown! Just swipe the pass at any participating attraction and you'll walk in for free.

We'll pick one Cleveland Plus Pass winner EACH MONTH (March through June) from our list of registrants, so the earlier you sign up for the summit, the more chances you have to win!

Now to the business side of your visit. This year prior to the summit, we're offering all registrants unrestricted access to the "Making It Here" attendee list, which should help you plan your trip. Use the list to schedule important meetings at the summit, or send out pre-summit communications to introduce your organization and generate potential new business. It's another way to derive a greater return on your conference investment.

Start making your plans now to attend GLWN's 2012 "Making It Here" Summit, the pinnacle of networking and learning for GLWN network associates. The summit will once again be held at Cleveland's Public Auditorium, which has undergone a remarkable $5 million renovation since last year's event. The center is located in the heart of downtown Cleveland, just 15 minutes from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

The host hotel for the "Making It Here" Summit is the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cleveland Downtown-Lakeside, which just completed a stunning $17 million makeover.
