First: On behalf of Tennessee Wing, I want to invite everyone to attend the 2016 National Conference in Nashville. Tennessee looks forward to welcoming all of you to our fine state!
There's now less than a month left for early bird registration, the price jumps on June 6.
They've also released a list of Learning Labs for the conference: http://www.capmembers.com/media/cms/2016_Draft_Learning_Lab_Description_368B3D86708AB.pdf (http://www.capmembers.com/media/cms/2016_Draft_Learning_Lab_Description_368B3D86708AB.pdf)
Looks like some interesting topics to be covered (and not just because some CAPTalk members are presenting them!)
That said, those presenting, here's a good chance to plug your programs!
Man...I really am thinking about going...but that drive...

C'mon, anywhere in IL is less than a day's drive!
I know this because when I drive home to visit family, day 1 takes me through all of IL and into WI. And I'm on the east end of TN, not the middle like Nashville.
7 hours and 45 minutes currently with a trip of 507 miles.

I've got 5 1/2h to got to my wing's SAREVAL...twice (one practice, one actual)
2 hours for me but I have a lot going on at the beginning of August. I wouldn't know for sure til July to know if I could make it and at that point the cost isn't worth it at this time.
Arriving on Tuesday morning (red-eye flight out of LAX). Looking forward to seeing CAP friends and participating in the various events. National Conference is always a great time.
I plan on driving from Maryland. 10 hours 600 miles. To save on the $25 parking fee I will leave the car at the airport and take the CAP shuttle to the hotel.
Just got my flights lined up for Wednesday afternoon... Man, thats not cheap.

Recruiting Boot Camp on Thursday, 11 August. Just $20 on top of your registration gets you a whole day of me (and others). Thats a bargain in anybody's book.
Three Recruiting Learning Labs during the conference:
RO01 - Retention Through Leadership & Program Management
RO02 - Social Media & Recruiting with both me & Colonel Stan Skrabut, NER Recruiting Director
RO03 - Implementing Cohort Recruiting (if you attended this last year, chances are you've seen > 50% of it) :)
Trying to arrange some "Office Hours" during the conference as well.
I'm doing an IT session on implementing stuff like Google Apps and making "information" a focus, rather than technology.

Is there a way to do one of the pre conference courses without going to the conference?

I'm scheduled to arrive on Tuesday afternoon. Looking forward to attending the chaplains meeting and taking advantage of some of the labs. This will be my third National Conference.
