Mini-SYMPOSIUM – MADISON, WISCONSIN
Concourse Hotel
May 22, 2003

"THE BUDGET CRUNCH:
Successful Management in New Financial Times"

Instead of one, large, annual symposium held in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, Springsted has opted to hold several "Mini-Symposia" in several states, in the hope that this approach will be easier on attendees' travel budgets.
