2013 GHTA Conference Early Registration Deadline: May 31

The Gift and Home Trade Association, the industry’s leading non-profit trade association, announces that early registration for its 11th annual conference is now available, ending May 31.

“The annual GHTA conference continues to provide a great forum for industry members to network, share ideas and experiences, contribute expertise, and learn,” shared John Keiser, president of the Gift and Home Trade Association and CEO of OneCoast. “More pointedly, however, the annual GHTA conference is a spectacular example of all members of our industry putting differences aside and coming together for the betterment of all.”

The conference, which will be held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina in San Diego, California, between October 2-5, provides a platform for sales representatives, manufacturers, and other industry service providers to network and share best business practices, while learning from nationally-known and industry speakers. More than 200 industry representatives attended the 2012 conference, capitalizing on the opportunity to learn from – and with – each other in a collaborative, creative, and accessible environment.

What are GHTA members saying about the GHTA’s annual conference?

The GHTA Conference is the only time of year that all the leaders of all sides of our industry come together in a social and learning setting and not in the mad rush of market or preparing for our various markets. The conference is a great place to reinforce existing relationships and friendships and to open pathways for new ones.

GHTA has grown considerably the last five years in offering much more for all the industry partners. Their leadership has helped shape the industry and has given many more tools to both rep agencies and manufacturers. The conference is a great place to bring all these parties together.

The early registration fee is $549 through May 31, a savings of $150.
