There’s nothing we enjoy more than hearing about how our Business & Leadership Conference helped an integrator solve a sales challenge, improve revenue, build a growth strategy, or develop a new business idea.
The 18th annual Business & Leadership Conference (BLC) is headed to Dallas, TX, on Feb. 25-27, 2016, and there’s still time for you to register at a steeply discounted price (hurry – prices go up on Jan. 5, 2016). But with so many professional development opportunities to choose from, why BLC? We asked previous attendees what they gained from BLC, and here’s what they had to say:
- The level and content of speakers is excellent. CaTECH actually contracted one of the speakers to provide business consulting services as a result of BLC.
