May 20-23, 2008, River Palms Resort Laughlin Nevada

Following on the heals of our highly successful inaugural 2007 event, we have already started the preparation for the 2008 1 Inch to !00 Yards Training Symposium.

2007 saw a gathering of 165 conference attendees, 23 high level industry vendors / exhibitors, and 25 of the worlds best tactical trainers. They all came to the small vacation resort community of Laughlin Nevada.

The 2008 Conference will further define what our industry is looking for in a training event, a conference that places the worlds best warriors on an even playing field with the worlds most deserving warriors, each learning and growing professionally from each other......Warriors...Training Warriors, To Win!

This one of a kind event stands as a full spectrum training event, designed to address the full spectrum of conflict preparation and mitigation. An event that is rapidly growing into an Annual World Class Event. 

Trainers and Attendees will all train in the latest tactics & techniques during the myriad of hands-on combative programs and traditional lecture courses, taught in a world class resort atmosphere.

The 2008 conference is going to be a full four day event with longer, more detailed blocks of training. The 2008 conference will also have two days of live fire range training; including blocks on rifle and shotgun skills.

The 2008 conference will also have the annual hospitality mixer and authors event, where you can relax, socialize and meet authors. The 2008 conference will also have the conference banquet and raffle (in 2007 we raffled off just a little over $20,000 in tactical merchandise!

What is the 2008 1 Inch to 100 Yards Conference?

In only its second year the 1 inch to 100 yards event has firmly established itself as a leading venue for interactive reality based & high liability training aimed at todays modern warriors.

It started as a collaborative effort between the staff of Khyber Interactive Associates (Khyber) and the staff of the Direct Action Medical Network (DAMN), after involvement in a number of disappointing training conferences these two organizations opted to develop an event that strives to address and reflect the true needs of those who deserve it most and was priced at a level that was attractive to agencies and affordable to the individual.

The 2007 event hosted a broad array of training opportunities & leading industry displays for three action packed days, filled with world class training and educational opportunities. The 2007 event was such a success we expect no less then a 75% growth for the 2008 event!

To miss this conference would be a crime!
