Leadership Conference
Leadership Conference
AUGUST 8 - 10, 2023
Business relationships between employees and customers thrive when you have an effective and diverse leadership team in all areas of operation – from the branch level to the corner office. Cultivating those leaders requires education and networking opportunities. As the equipment distribution industry becomes increasingly competitive, it is more important than ever before to invest in leadership development for the future of the business.
How prepared are those in your business who are or will enter leadership roles? Take the opportunity to set up the new and future leaders in your dealership for success by sending them to the AED Leadership Conference. No other event will give you more focused expertise on building and optimizing leaders in your dealership.
Attending will enable professionals to grow by delivering actionable content on leadership principles, the most relevant industry information, technology updates, and a platform to grow their professional networks and to learn from their peers. The Leadership Conference is one of the most highly anticipated industry events of the year across North America. There are many reasons attendees return year after year, including preparing for a promotion, inspiration for improving and motivating the team, and the overall quality of the program.
