Time flies by so fast. MoneySmarts quietly turned one last summer. To make the celebration really special, we are giving loyal readers first crack at limited seats for an interactive personal finance seminar.
Together with Citibank, which is celebrating its 100th Take Charge Of Your Money column for INQUIRER.net, and MoneySense magazine, we hope that this personal finance seminar will bring our discussions to a new level.
The promotions for this seminar is officially going to start Monday next week, but MoneySmarts readers who want to be there can email register (at) iluvlearning (dot) com beginning today.
We are only offering 100 seats. For a nominal fee of P250 (Just to make sure that you will come. Fee on Monday next week will go up to P300), you will get powerhouse speakers like bestselling author Francis Kong, Dr. Queena Lee-Chua, Chinkee Tan and Ramon Tejero.
Here are the other details:
What: Personal Finance Seminar
When: August 2, 2008
Time: 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: AIM Conference Center in Legazpi Village
Who: Speakers include Dr. Queena Lee-Chua on rising inflation and how it can affect savings and setting financial goals, Chinkee Tan, author of “Till Debt Do Us Part” to talk about overspending and how to get out of a debt trap and how to manage credit wisely, Ramon Tejero, head of research and portfolio strategy for Citibank’s insurance and investments arm in the Philippines, will walk participants through the step-by-step preparation of a financial plan (so you won’t come home with only dreams of financial independence in your head) and bestselling author Francis Kong, who will teach how these can all be made possible.
Partners in mounting the seminar: MoneySmarts, Citibank, Money Sense magazine and organizer Learning Curve.
Email now and celebrate with me. ☺ See you there!

This is GREAT but can this be done somewhere in Alabang and preferably on a Saturday (humirit pa) if possible. Surely this will help a lot Cash challenged dudes like me and the pinoys attend. By the way am not from The Alabang nor from the gillage. Am from nearby ricefileds of Laguna. some might say am just being Sosie. Saturday becasue no need to absent from work (no work -no pay) and for those without work - OK pa rin
Salamat po.

Yup, I guess sayang talaga I couldn’t attend this one. Distance and time constraints…
Ria’s suggestion is probably worth looking at. Even if for some nominal fee. Podcast?
