From the desk of Janelle Pfleiger, CRS, 2016 president
This years conference at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort in Orlando, Florida, on February 8 and 9 truly embodied the shows theme: Let’s Talk Business. Sell-a-bration® 2016 included nearly 30 educational sessions and three amazing keynotes. But that’s not all. It also focused on helping attendees make meaningful connections with each other by including several new networking programs.
This year, Sell-a-bration® participants were greeted by a number of CRS volunteer Hosts who dedicated their time to helping new and veteran attendees connect and get the most out of the conference. Sell-a-bration® Hosts also took pictures with attendees and posted comments on Facebook and Twitter social media sites. In fact, a whopping 800 posts were recorded in just two days all viewable in real time on video monitors at the conference. Attendees also enjoyed an entertaining networking game with fantastic prizes and making business matches at a new speed networking session.
I left Orlando feeling invigorated with great new friends and a host of new ideas to build my business. I hope you’ll take a few moments to check out the pictures and stories from this years event in the Inside CRS section of this issue.
I am pleased to report that Sell-a-bration® 2016 was a great success. In fact, a record number of attendees already pre-registered for next years Sell-a-bration® 2017. If you haven’t done so, I encourage you to visit CRS.com and take advantage of the special early-bird pricing before it expires. See you in Phoenix next year!
