Registration Open for PEI's Young Executives Winter Conference Set Feb. 4-6, San Juan, Costa Rica

Tulsa, OK—The Petroleum Equipment Institute has scheduled its 2009 Young Executives Winter Conference for Feb. 4-6 at the Marriott Costa Rica in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Information regarding the conference program, registration, and housing for the event is available by visiting here.

The keynote presentation for the 2009 Young Executive Winter Conference will be given by Steve McClatchy, an international speaker, trainer, consultant, writer and entrepreneur.

His presentation, "Three Levels of Leadership," will address the real obstacles and challenges that sometimes get in the way of running a business.

The goal of the program is to help attendees improve quality and productivity in their organization.

The ideas presented will be facilitated with interaction and real world examples.

McClatchy will cover important areas such as Personal Leadership, Team Leadership and Interpersonal Leadership.

PEI's Young Executives Program has been offered for 11 years and is open to full-time employees of PEI member companies who are between the ages of 21 and 45 (after age 45, members can be grandfathered into the program) and are currently serving, or expect to serve, in a management or executive position in the industry.

The cost for membership in the Young Executives Program is $100 per year, which offsets the difference in member and non-member registration fees for events like the Winter Conference.

The Winter Conference registration fee for PEI Young Executives members is $375 and $475 for non-members.

All attendees at the conference must be employees of a PEI member company.

Voted as one of the top 10 hotels in Mexico and Central America by Conde Nast, the Marriott Costa Rica features a colonial hacienda set on a 30-acre coffee plantation.

Room rates at the Marriott Costa Rica are $210 for single or double occupancy.

Registrations and all rooms must be booked no later than Dec. 12, 2008.

Among its activities in addition to the Winter Conference, each year the Young Executives Committee and its members meet during the annual PEI Convention in the fall for roundtable discussions and networking sessions.

Members of the program also receive the "YE.Spotlight," an electronic newsletter that focuses on timely topics in the industry.
