Memphis Blues BLAST 2008
About the Conference
|
| Training sessions and meetings will begin Wednesday afternoon. We will be in meetings all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. We are planning receptions, a leadership breakfast, and a luncheon banquet. As always we are developing a first class training agenda. Those who attended our Denver BLAST say that they gained much from the innovative, interactive, and informative training. We are working now to develop the training curriculum for BLAST ‘08. Your suggestions are welcome and appreciated. The goal of the Business Leadership and Superior Training (BLAST) Conference is to target training to meet the specific needs of blind entrepreneurs and our agency partners. Working with our partner suppliers and purveyors, we are planning an even more extensive product and services showcase of exhibits during the Memphis Blues BLAST the afternoon of Thursday April 17th. New products, special pricing, accessible technology and more will make this showcase one you can’t afford to miss. |

Working together, we can build a new Randolph-Sheppard Program; join us for our Memphis Blues BLAST! As those of you who have attended previous BLAST conferences know, we are not planning the usual blind vendor conference. It will be a BLAST of fresh air with real take home ideas blind entrepreneurs and agency partners can use to build careers. BLAST will feature electrifying upward mobility training seminars taught by this nation’s leading motivators in the fields of human resources, marketing and retail management. Join us as these scintillating speakers walk us through dynamic approaches to develop rapport with customers, building management, SLAs and colleagues. You’ll go home with a pocket full of tools and techniques that will reach customers and keep bringing them back; methods to anticipate, understand, embrace and manage change in the marketplace. You will be energized by practical strategies to manage, teach, lead, profit! There will be formal and informal opportunities throughout BLAST to network and build strong personal and business relationships. BLAST ‘08 is the National Training Conference for you! We want your input and ideas as we develop the specifics of this high caliber conference.
