Here’s what past attendees have said…
I come from a small — if not the smallest — fair in the Association with 8,000 – 10,000 people attending our 4-day fair. I have been coming to Management Conference for only 3 years. I wish someone would have told me how truly valuable this would have been to me 8 years ago when I started in the industry. I attend Management Conference for the tailor-made programming for people in a management position. Management Conference offers more networking with and getting to know other Managers/CEO’s that you may not get the chance to sit down with at the IAFE Convention. Even coming from a very small fair/community, I have always been able to take something back and implement it at our level. Management Conference is my very favorite IAFE event!
It was a phenomenal event that engaged our minds to have a new lens and outlook on how we approach ourselves to lead our teams for the future.
Would definitely tell a friend. As a new Manager, this conference provided me with a fantastic opportunity to meet other managers of all size fairs and make connections for ideas, questions, and inspiration!
I attend the Management Conference for networking and higher-level sessions not available at other places.
[I go to Management Conference] to see my peers and friends. I met great new people also. Very high-level programming and teamwork. I am already looking forward to St. Louis!
