Earning a reputation as the premier conference for Inside Sales leaders, the Leadership Summit is recognized for delivering informative, thought-provoking presentations and collaborative discussions relevant to today's Inside Sales leaders. If you are a Vice President, Director, Manager, Supervisor, or an Executive that oversees an Inside Sales Organization, you won't want to miss this event!

Event Location & Details

This two day conference will be held on April 17th and 18th at the beautiful Westin Galleria in Dallas, Texas and includes a variety of general sessions, interactive break-out sessions, and lively panel discussions featuring all new presentations from some of the nation's leading Inside Sales experts. We are excited to announce the opening keynote address will be given by Jill Konrath the award winning author of the internationally acclaimed #1 bestseller "SNAP SELLING" and "Selling to Big Companies." Joining Jill will be over 30 Inside Sales expert presenters and panelists.

This year's Summit will address issues critical to today's Inside Sales organizations as identified in a recently commissioned survey of over 1000 Inside Sales Leaders. Breakout sessions will include the sharing of best practices from a variety of organizations across many different industries as well as best in class solutions developed from the AA-ISP's Senior Executive Retreat that was held earlier this year. In addition, the Solution Provider Exhibit will offer attendees an opportunity to meet with leading inside sales vendors while seeing their various products and service offerings first hand.

A special guest motivational speaker will conclude the first day's session followed immediately by the Attendee Networking Reception where everyone can meet in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. The Annual AA-ISP Award luncheon will be held on Thursday and will honor those top individuals and organizations that have made a significant impact to the inside sales profession during 2011.

The 2012 Summit will be packed full of innovative topics, practical ideas, and best practices you can implement immediately. You'll leave revitalized, exhilarated, and armed with knowledge, techniques, and tools to help you improve your Inside Sales organization as well advance your own personal Management & Leadership skills.
