The conference schedule looks similar to previous years with sales meetings starting on Sunday afternoon running through Tuesday. Conference education will begin Monday morning, and the conference ends with a closing event Tuesday evening. If you left early last year in San Antonio, you missed a great tequila tasting education session. Plan to stay for this year's finale in Memphis! You will not be disappointed.
Below is a tentative schedule of events.
