Awards Celebration and Summer Conference
GLGA will host the Awards Celebration and Second Annual Summer Conference June 19-20, 2013, at Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, WI. Come for a celebration of print and an educational day to help position your business for success.
On Wednesday, June 19, we kick things off with the Awards Celebration, recognizing the very best achievement in print media in our region. The evening begins with cocktails and networking. All the winning pieces will be on display so you can cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award . New this year will be a sit-down dinner with your choice of entree. The awards presentation will honor the Best of Category and Best of Division winners, leading up to the announcement of the Best of Show, Runners-Up and People’s Choice prizes.
The next day, Thursday, June 20, is the Second Annual Summer Conference with a focus on profitability. The conference promises an educational day of speakers, workshops, discussions, displays and networking. Our keynote speaker is Andy Paparozzi, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist for the National Association for Printing Leadership, who will present Creating Your Own Recovery. Waiting for the economy to turn around or the competition to shake out isn’t the answer. Andy will discuss actions we should be taking right now to make ourselves more efficient, more competitive and more valuable to our clients.
The featured speakers also include Ryan Sauers, President of Sauers Strategies, on Everyone Is In Sales. Ryan reframes the concept of sales to communications and teaches how to refocus engaging with others so you can bring solutions to your clients. Chuck Underwood, President of the Generational Imperative, will present Generational Strategies in Selling and Customer Service. Chuck will help you achieve better sales results and customer satisfaction by understanding the differences between the four generations in the workplace and marketplace. The agenda will be rounded out with a presentation by Andrew Rae, Senior Vice President of Heidelberg, USA, on Technology and Opportunities. The day includes continental breakfast and a luncheon featuring tabletop exhibits.
