Make an executive decision to improve your firm! Attend the CMAA Trade Show where you can view products, services and technological advancements from scores of exhibitors that can help make your firm operate more efficiently, effectively and profitably. The show opens early, so you can take a turn around the floor before the day’s lunch on the trade show floor. You will also find a networking break between educational sessions in the afternoon to facilitate visiting the many exhibitors.

 

If you’re not able to attend the entire conference, consider coming to the trade show. Use the registration form to apply for this admission at a reduced fee.

 

As an organization, CMAA conducts a great deal of business on behalf of its members. Today’s program provides an overview of the progress made by CMAA during the past year. Chairman

Bill Van Wagenen, CCM, will lead the meeting and, with the membership, conduct the business of CMAA. Executive Committee members will report on the status of the association and its component organizations, the CMAA Foundation and CMCI. President & CEO Bruce D’Agostino, CAE, will also report on headquarters activities.

 

This event offers an opportunity for first-time National Conference attendees and members who have joined since last year’s conference to meet and network with one another as the National Conference experience begins. At this reception, you’ll meet members of the Board of Directors and learn how to get the most value from your conference participation as explained by some “veteran” attendees! The sticker on your badge will identify you as a “first timer” or a new member to all conference attendees. Guests will receive an invitation by mail prior to the conference and should bring the invitation with them.

Don’t miss this annual event where you can share food, drink and good cheer with some 800 of your closest friends! The reception is a wonderful opportunity to relax and start your evening before heading out to enjoy one of San Francisco’s many fine restaurants.

After enjoying your early morning breakfast, join fellow attendees to hear an outstanding keynote speaker, Gary Heil, noted business futurist and consultant. Heil, who was well received when he first spoke to a CMAA gathering eight years ago, is an internationally recognized expert on service quality, leadership and change management.

 

The show opens following the keynote breakfast, and gives you three focused opportunities to visit – during the morning and afternoon networking breaks and during the special lunch in the Exhibit Hall. These five hours are your last chance to discover new products, services and technological advancements that can improve your business, or to network with the exhibitors before the trade show concludes.
