About SMB Preday
SMB Preday is a free community resource developed and maintained by SMBBooks.com and Great Little Book Publishing Co., Inc. These are the web site I use to promote books and other resources for the SMB Conulting community.
What'a a "Preday?"
Many years ago, Harry Brelsford rented a hotel room at the site of the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. He put on an event just for SMB Consultants. A whole day of activities. Because it was as close as possible to the WPC events, he attracted a lot of people who were in town for the WPC.
And thus the "preday" event was born.
In fall of 2005, I help my first preday event on the site of SMB Nation. We had a room set for 115. People were packed in that room and hanging out in the hallway. Not sure how many people we had total. Every year since then I've held a preday event for SMB Nation, and got at least 120 attendees.
Now, in 2008, there are lots of people doing preday events for a variety of conferences. I've scheduled events with with Erick Simpson, Matt Makowicz, Robin Robins, Amy Luby, and others. These are great educational opportunities -- and a lot of fun!
Plan to attend a conference. Look me up when you get there!

About Karl
For information about me, please see the About Karl Palachuk page over at Great Little Book. There's not much point in maintaining the same info in two places.
Meet Lana
The hard work on these pages is done by Svetlana Shurayev. Lana gathered the information about the hotels, created the maps, and maintains the site.
You should also know that Lana's the one who packages your books when you place an order. She also prints name badges for events, keeps track of inventory, and does pretty much everything else needed to make Great Little Book run smoothly.
