The 48th annual PSA Convention was hosted in Scottsdale, AZ, October 11 – 14th. The network came together for business leadership education, networking with their peers, and a little bit of fun along the way. The event hosted over 60 integrators representing more than 40 of PSA’s most progressive owner and member companies from across the country. A big thank you to the sponsors, speakers, and attendees who participated.
Mark your calendars! PSA Convention is heading to Hilton Head Island, SC, October 7 - 9, 2020.CONVENTION EDUCATION RECAP
This year at PSA Convention we held three half-day educational sessions. Two of those days revolved around business leadership topics and the third day was dedicated to a PSA 2019 business review and presentation on plans for FY2020. Here’s a look at what you may have missed:

In our Saturday session, Dr. Ritterspach lead the group through the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) which has transformed thousands of companies around the world. Based on proven, timeless principles from the book Traction, EOS is a complete business management system. During the session we learned simple, basic practical tools to help our organizations get alignment around our visions, how to instill a culture of accountability and discipline, and how to create a healthy culture.
