Discovering New Ideas

At ELFA headquarters we’re gearing up for the 2018 ELFA Annual Convention, which will be held Oct. 14–16 in Phoenix. We’re pleased to present this year’s convention theme, which is all about discovering new ideas to help your business “Evolve, Emerge and Excel.”

• Evolve: To stay relevant and thrive in today’s fast-changing world, it is critical to evolve your business operations to tap into new opportunities.
  
  
• Emerge: You’ll have the opportunity to examine and discuss a number of trends facing the industry and position your business to emerge stronger than ever.
  
  
• Excel: Business is revving up. Prepare to win business in a competitive marketplace, deliver value to customers and excel at achieving your goals.

Please save the date for this exciting event—we’ll let you know when registration opens later this spring.
