Capitalizing on what we learned at our last conference\ , the 2016 NMEDA conference shows signs of surpassing all the bench marks we broke this previous year. First\, it is to be held in the Kay Bailey Hu tchison Convention Center\, which is huge. NMEDA has over 200k square feet of exhibit space to fill and\, even at this early stage in the game\, it looks as though we will have more exhibitors than last year. The list of e xhibitors will include manufacturers displaying the latest in mobility equ ipment and vehicle designs\, as well as related industry services to enhan ce your business and increase profits. We've also invied a number of partn er organizations\, such as the Multiple Sclerosis Society\, the ALS Associ ation\, the American Stroke Association and many more\, to give you an opp ortunity to interact on a personal level and learn how your business can b enefit from a relationship with their local chapters.\n\nFrom a workshop s tandpoint\, it's all about improving and growing your business. This year we welcome two outstanding keynote speakers to the conference. Award-winni ng author and mobile marketing expert\, Gary Schwartz\, will open the conf erence and Robin Crow will provide a rousing and entertaining finish. Our friend and outstanding sales expert\, Paul Webb\, will be back again in 20 16 with an all new workshop. Larry Oxenham will present his highly sought- after assest protection workshop. Asset protection is an area that we all can benefit from\, whether you own a business or the personal property.\n\ nOne of the most exciting areas this year should be Government Relations. With a congressional bill in play on Capitol Hill that could help bring V A in line with a better way for selecting suppliers - plus all the legisla tive friends we've made this year (including some very influential congres sional types) - the topic should provide a very lively and provocative wor kshop experience you're not going to want to miss. \n\nSpeaking of things you won't want to miss: We're unveiling some new and exciting accomplishm ents coming out of the NMEDA Quality Assurance Program. NMEDA QAP is pavin g the way for us on Capitol Hill and beyond - and the benefits to you as p articipants in the program are bigger and better than ever. \n\nThink Big !
