If you haven’t yet registered for Summit 2025, don’t wait! The clock is ticking on early-bird savings, which end this Friday, Feb. 14.
Summit 2025 will be held March 23-26 at the Gaylord Opryland & Convention Center in Nashville. With a theme of “Focus,” the event brings together BrandSource and its AVB affiliate groups — ProSource, Intercounty Appliance Corp. (IAC), the New England Appliance Group (NEAG) and MEGA Group/BrandSource Canada — for a three-day blowout of education, networking, buying opportunities and an industry-leading trade show.
Early birds who register before Feb. 14 save $200 on a three-night stay at the Gaylord.
This year’s Summit includes a number of special highlights:
- Motivational speaker and author Kevin Brown will deliver a keynote sharing ideas, strategies and principles that inspire people to make a positive difference. His presentation, “The Hero Effect — Being Your Best when it Matters the Most,” helps eliminate ordinary thinking and encourages listeners to take responsibility for their attitude, their actions and their results.
- The Women in Business breakfast will feature guest speaker Alyson Van Hooser, who will discuss “How Leaders Engage and Retain High Performing Employees.” In her presentation, Van Hooser will share actionable ideas on how to focus resources on cultivating team success.
- Special HUB training for members of NEAG and IAC.
- A ServiceSource Town Hall Breakfast where members will share proven strategies that drive success and efficiency in service operations.
In addition, Summit 2025 will feature a full slate of product trainings, presentations, education sessions, Stampede show specials and the latest and greatest in appliances and home furnishings, available for perusal on the EXPO floor.
And, as always, the mainstage presentations by AVB leadership will give attendees insights and information about the group, the industry and ways BrandSource is preparing to meet the coming challenges of the industry.
