Our office is abuzz with holiday cheer AND many inquires regarding education sessions at convention. You may already be aware of the keynotes speaking during the general sessions; Terry Jones founder of Travelocity, Kelly McDonald Hispanic Marketing expert and Joel Zeff wrapping up with Communication Through Comedy - but there are MANY more educational opportunities at convention!

FROM our innovative pre-cons: Food Sales Strategy (intended for fair staff and concessionaires), a "how to" Computer Lab and a Fair Board Director Summit TO over 25 different round tables on Wednesday we have packed the convention with learning experiences. Learn how to build a better fair, be innovative and creative, capitalize your resources AND have a good time doing it!

Our speakers are diverse, pulled from a variety of fields to help serve you better. The Professional Development team has developed a strategy to incorporate professional speakers, experts in the industry and peer sharing to make your learning experience outstanding. Do not forget to drop by the Achievement Awards area in the Trade Show for even more great ideas and sharing!

Check out a full list of session here (schedule is tentative and subject to change). We will continuously update the session page as information becomes available.
