The Alliance for Virtual Businesses proudly presents the 5th Annual Online International Virtual Assistants Convention (“OIVAC”).

This year’s theme: “New Decade…New Way to Work” … Celebrating 5 Years of Educating and Showcasing Professional Virtual Assistants. With a stellar array of speakers and technology to match, this year’s Convention is designed to help you unlock potential you didn’t even know you had, and to take your virtual assistant business to the next level.

The OIVAC continues its long-time tradition of securing motivational speakers, creating cutting-edge workshops, providing stimulating networking sessions, and making eye-catching exhibit halls and tradeshow booths available on an around-the-clock basis and across country lines.

With today’s technology, OIVAC’s 5th year anniversary is presented as a “live” event entirely via the Internet. You’ll participate while you sit at your desk, in your favorite lounge chair, or some other convenient location where you might put your laptop or desktop computer.

An Online Convention such as this is the latest in convenience as well as cost-savings. Attendees share easy access with minimal strain on the budget and have no travel/airport expenses or hassles on the tarmac. In addition, with no hotel bills and other hidden expenses you “arrive at” and leave the Convention with no jet lag or other travel worries.

It’s simple… If you want to expand your horizons, explore your potential, be introduced to new products, services and technologies, there’s no other place to be, to get access to these presenters and the information they’ll be sharing with you.

If you’re a new or established VA, this event is for you. (EVEN IF YOU’RE JUST THINKING ABOUT BECOMING A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT, THIS EVENT WILL TEACH YOU MORE THAN YOU THOUGHT POSSIBLE.)

If you’re a seasoned VA, this event is for you. Not only will you learn new information to grow your business and increase profits, you’ll also be in a large group of virtual assistants who are motivated to succeed…

Imagine being in front of your computer linked to Virtual Assistants and industry leaders across the globe.

And you’re in the heart of it all!

January 12, 2010. The date that shocked the world as a 7.0 major earthquake created catastrophic havoc and devastation in Haiti, an already poor and troubled country.

As a global and compassionate Virtual Assistant industry, we, as representatives of the Online International Virtual Assistants Convention, feel an obligation to join businesses and organizations, and others worldwide working to alleviate the tragedy and destruction inflicted upon this country and its people.

In view of this, we are committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from this year’s Convention registrations to Haiti relief. Convention attendance is not required to contribute to or to be a part of the representation of the VA industry.

For your convenience, a number of charities are listed here. (More)
