DBA INTERNATIONAL "OCEAN OF OPPORTUNITIES"
DBA International is holding its 10th Annual DBA International Conference on Wednesday, February 7th through Friday, February 9th, 2007 at The Mirage Casino-Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. Buyers and Sellers of Debt Portfolios, Collection Attorneys, Agencies and Recovery Professionals, Consumer Lenders, Investment Bankers and Consulting Agencies, as well as Industry Vendors are all welcome to participate.

DBA International is pleased to announce confirmation of their guest speaker at the 10th Annual DBA International Conference "Ocean of Opportunities". Among the most accomplished and well known of the world's deep-sea explorers, Dr. Robert Ballard is best known for his historic discovery of the R.M.S. TITANIC lost in its watery grave more than 12,000 feet beneath the cold water of the North Atlantic. During his long career, he has conducted more than 100 deep-sea expeditions using the latest in exploration technology. A pioneer in the early use of deep diving submarines, he was on the first manned expedition of the largest mountain range on Earth, the Mid-Ocean Ridge. Later he lead an expedition off the Galapagos Islands that discovered new life forms on Earth, a discovery that has revolutionized our understanding of the origin of life on our planet and increased the likelihood of discovering life elsewhere in the Solar System.

This year's line up will include informative speakers and presentations to keep you and your company up-to-date about industry topics and emerging concerns. You will also have plenty of time to meet and network with other industry professionals and of course participate in the Annual Golf Classic being held at the The Revere Golf Resort.
