Training at the 2013 BLAST Conference will be:
Monday May 20th, 2013 @ 12 p.m.
to:
Thursday May 23rd, 2013 @ 1 p.m.
We are planning the largest Randolph-Sheppard Trade Show in the history of our program:
Tuesday May 21st, 2013 from 12 p.m. until 6 p.m.
Mark your calendars! Please plan to join us for education, motivation and the largest Trade Show for blind entrepreneurs and those with whom they work. The National Association of Blind Merchants, a strong and active division of the National Federation of the Blind, is very pleased to announce that the BLAST Business Leadership and Superior Training Conference will return to Indianapolis, Indiana in May of 2013.
After much negotiation and vigilant consideration of the top conference and hospitality venues across the country, contracts have been signed with the magnificent Indianapolis Marriott Downtown.
The Business Leadership and Superior Training conference has become the principal conference for blind vendors and state licensing agency management and staff over the past decade. Each year we have expanded curriculum, sought out the most dynamic speakers, added networking opportunities, team building exercises and top notch tours and entertainment. In 2013 we are moving this dynamic Business Leadership and Superior Training Conference to the spring.
In light of the recent far reaching memorandum issued by President Obama and the recent launch of our National Federation of the Blind Entrepreneurial Initiative we have much work ahead of us. As we begin planning curriculum for the 2013 Indianapolis BLAST and securing early sponsorships we look forward to working with all of you. This promises to be an exciting year as we work with many of our longstanding partner/suppliers, state agencies, local vendor committees, federal officials, franchisers, and equipment manufacturers.
