Keith Essex
Historian
Seeking and gaining good quality venue partnerships by keeping history of our facilities, “what works, what doesn’t” adds value along with providing and recognizing keynote speakers, trainers & leadership influencers. History enables the data to choose right places & the right people.
Wanda Griffin
Registration Director
Welcoming guests is essential to creating a successful experience. Our goal is to create a “check in” experience that feels seamless, warm, and genuinely delightful – so that every guest immediately feels like they’re part of something special.
