Greetings HARDI members! I hope all of you are enjoying the beginnings of a beautiful summer, full of sunshine, warm temperatures, and most importantly, outstanding HARDI events! It is truly hard to believe we are already halfway through the year. As I look back on the wonderful events that have already taken place, I’m incredibly grateful for the numerous conversations, feedback, and memories so many of you have given me. Thank you for giving me some of your time and allowing me to better understand the people that make this association great. I look forward to continuing this momentum as we move forward with the rest of the year engaging in the high-quality events HARDI has planned.
Right now, I am incredibly excited for the third Focus Conference, Marketing & Sales Optimization, which is just around the corner. Taking place June 22-24, at Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, Wisconsin, I expect this to be one of the most well-attended Focus Conferences of the year. With incredibly talented speakers like Sam Richter, Jim Pancero, and Alex Goldfayn, this content has the potential to dramatically maximize profit within your company. Sales and marketing are an integral aspect of any business, and you will not want to miss the groundbreaking skills, strategies, and techniques that will be presented to members that attend this conference. Further down the line I look forward to the Purchasing Optimization Conference Sept. 14-16 in Newport, Rhode Island. If the first two Focus Conferences have taught me anything, it’s that the opportunity to analyze and discuss the data and insight given from speakers with fellow members is truly priceless. Personally, I have learned so much from all of you about how you make the content applicable to your specific companies. HARDI prides itself on keeping our members up-to-date and ahead of the curve, so I am incredibly excited to keep connecting with all of you as the year progresses.
