This year’s theme – ‘Press ON to Technology’
New this year, the conference program will feature a technology theme. It’s the same great, interactive experience as past years with sessions focused on human resources, customer service, marketing and business management. As technology is the backbone to many business activities, tips and tools will be incorporated in to all of the sessions. The goal is for participants to leave the conference feeling confident about incorporating new technology in to their business practices to help increase efficiency and access new markets.
