AA-ISP Leadership Summit 2013
Earning a reputation as the premier conference for Inside Sales leaders, the annual AA-ISP Leadership Summit is known for delivering informative, content-rich presentations, and collaborative discussions relevant to today's Inside Sales leaders.
Event Location & Details
The 5th Annual AA-ISP Inside Sales Leadership Summit will be held on April 9th and 10th at the world renowned Palmer House near the magnificent mile in Downtown Chicago, Illinois. The 2013 Summit will feature all new presentations from over 30 of the nation's leading Inside Sales Experts, who will be discussing the key issues and challenges facing Inside Sales organizations and sharing their proven solutions and best practices.
In addition, attendees will also have plenty of time to network and share with fellow Sales leaders throughout the event. The birds of a feather discussions help to connect you with like-minded individuals on common topics of interest, and the Attendee Networking Reception lets everyone meet in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. The Solution Provider Exhibits offer attendees a wonderful opportunity to meet with today's leading inside sales service providers and learn, first-hand, about their various products, service offerings and more importantly – if they can help you or your organization.
The Annual AA-ISP Award luncheon, a Summit tradition, will be held on Wednesday and will honor those top individuals and organizations that have made a significant impact to the inside sales profession during 2012.
The 2013 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 improve your own personal management and leadership skills.
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 year's Summit!
