Welcome to the 7th Annual Online International Virtual Assistants Convention

Innovate. Integrate. Motivate.

Our theme: Innovate, Integrate, Motivatewith its multi-level course offerings, is designed to help VAs learn to navigate the pressures and complexities that come with creating and maintaining a virtual business. While challenges in your Virtual Assisting Business may be compelling, this is not the time to cut back on education or limit access to information that can help grow your business.

This year’s convention will challenge participants to think more strategically to implement change by addressing three core principles of business growth and development…


Innovation:
taking the lead or initiative in showcasing ideas to assist with the development of your business.


Integration:
incorporate the ideas and newest technologies, processes, and services into your business.


Motivation:
incite you to take action to achieve goals throughout 2012 and beyond.

Our lineup of inspiring speakers, educational topics and open invitation events will set you on a viable course to take control and be successful in the ever-changing online environment.  OIVAC 2012 is sure to help you unlock a potential you didn’t know you had. You’ll learn how to get new clients, to make your current clients happy, and to grow your business by leaps and bounds.

This year, we’re continuing our extremely successful, break out “make it and take it” sessions, the highly sought after “hard core” training events presented by various training and technology companies, and introduced to critical acclaim last year.

Here, you’ll not just be “sitting in on” the seminar you’ll actually be “doing in the session” so that at the end of the day you’ll leave with your very own working project/product, which you can immediately use in your business. Plus, we bring back the popular Ask the Seasoned VAs Panels, as well as the Introduction to the VA Industry, the UK VAs sessions and the session conducted by the African VAs.

Further, in our long-standing tradition, we continue to present ALL OIVAC sessions entirely on the Internet, as “live”events. Which means you can participate from a location that’s most convenient for you, whether that’s in your office, your home, your car, or in the park; it’s anywhere you might put your laptop, your desktop computer, your mobile phone, or other hearing or seeing device.

Best Bang for the Dollar Event

It’s been proven that an online convention such as this is the latest in convenience and costs-savings. Attendees share easy access with minimal strain on the budget and have no travel/airport expenses. Nor are you faced with the hassle from the “airport feelers”. Further, since you have no hotel bills or other hidden expenses, you “arrive at” and leave the convention in a relaxed frame of mind. You’ll also not be faced with other travel worries like whether a gas station will be open when you’re ready to get out of town or when you’ll be able to find the next pit stop.

It’s really quite simple… in a setting like ours you’ll be able to interact with the movers and shakers of the VA industry and their entrepreneurial counterparts for all (or parts of) three days.  So make it a point soon to claim access to our presenters and the information they’re ready to share with you.

We’re looking forward to watching your business grow right before our eyes.
