CEDAR RAPIDS, IA, October 13, 2008 — Boost your profits at NSCA's 2009 Business & Leadership Conference, sponsored by InfoComm International, and learn from experts and professionals who've been through tough economic conditions before. Formerly the Fall Business Conference, this year the popular event will be held February 26-28, 2009, at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix, AZ. Register now for early bird discounts by visiting www.nsca.org/blc or calling 800.446.6722.

 

As the premier forum for executives and managers in the commercial electronic systems industry, conference attendees benefit from world-class presenters and industry experts, networking events, and interactive sessions that help them discover profit. 

 

John Bangs of AV/Com Integrators said the business conference allowed him to take nuggets of information and apply them to his own business.

 

“This conference makes you get away and actually think about your business instead of just reacting to your business; owners don’t get a lot of that time,” he said.

 

"The Business and Leadership Conference represents far more than an opportunity to interact with others and attend sessions," said NSCA Executive Director, Chuck Wilson. "Especially now, when business owners are facing new economic challenges, incorporating new costs or trying to generate new business – this event provides a place where knowledge is freely exchanged and fresh perspectives are gained to deal with the current generation of problems we all face."

 

Attendees are able to customize their learning experience to focus on their specific needs, interests and issues. Sessions address topics such as:

InfoComm International Executive Director, Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., said his association was pleased to be a part of the conference. 

 

“Over the years, this event has consistently demonstrated its value to those who attend and I am looking forward to being there,” Lemke said.

 

Sponsors of the event include Mitek Communication Group (host sponsor); SCN (co-host and media sponsor); Dove Net (The Project System); FSR, Inc; Herman Procurement & Logistics; Rauland-Borg Corporation; Shure Incorporated; Biamp Systems and West Penn Wire.
