Tips for success at this year’s Industry Summit!

Our Welcome Committee offers the following tips to make your Industry Summit participation a success.

Airline and Ground Travel:

In-bound flights: You can fly into either Dallas-Love Field or DFW Airport, depending on your departure city and preferred airline.
Do not rent a car. It is expensive and parking can be both costly and challenging. Instead, use a taxi or Uber to get to and from the airport.

What ot Bring

Extra travel bag. Consider packing a travel bag inside your suitcase. You won’t need to pay for an extra bag on the outbound trip, but will have one available for the return – perfect for carrying handouts and promotional items back to your business.
Casual clothes. Khakis/shorts and golf/polo shirts are acceptable for all Summit events. Consider wearing clothing that features your business name; it will help potential business partners identify you.
Business cards. Always have 15-20 extra business cards available to share – you never know who you will meet!

During The Summit

Attend everything. Don’t miss any event – even if the presentation doesn’t fit your business model, you might miss the chance to sit next to a potential key contact.
Outreach. Commit to meeting someone new at every Summit event. New contacts are the most important thing you will obtain at this event – get as many as possible.

“It’s great to re-connect with old friends, but at some point, I will have gleaned everything I can from them. So I really look forward to the new attendees, because they will undoubtedly give me an idea that can help my store.” -Mike Fruitman

After The Summit

Follow up. Send thank-you notes to those who contributed to your Summit success, and reach out to potential new business partners.
Prioritize your improvements. “You will learn so much, and hear so many great ideas, that it is impossible to implement it all right away. So commit to doing a few things well – and hold yourself accountable for making them part of your business within 15 or 30 days of leaving the Summit.” -Rick Rollar
Plan for next year. Our next Summit is only 360 days away!
