Event designed exclusively for CEOs and senior managers
challenges status quo and explores innovative business administration
Indianapolis, Ind. – As the residential
electronic systems industry matures and becomes more and more competitive,
chief executives and senior managers must rethink the way they run
their businesses in order to capitalize upon the growth potential present
in virtually every market around the world.
Businesses wishing to remain
small can also benefit from innovative strategies for decreasing
costs, increasing profits, streamlining operations
and motivating employees through strategies delivered and discussed
at the 2007 CEDIA Management Conference.
The 2007 CEDIA Management
Conference is scheduled for February 7-10, 2007, at the Ponte Vedra
Inn & Club in Jacksonville, Fla. This
top-level management event is open to CEDIA Members and non-members.
Discounted early bird registration is available for attendees that
register by January 5, 2007.
“One of the most valuable aspects of every CEDIA
Management Conference is its networking feature,” said Jared
Blackford, CEDIA Management Conference Chair and owner of NuSystems,
Inc. in Gardnerville,
Nevada. “The
greatest minds from the most successful residential electronic
systems businesses come every year and I know that I have personally
taken
home many great ideas just from interacting with my industry
peers.”
The “Strategic Management Forums” are
another popular feature of CEDIA Management Conference, which
offer CEDIA Certified Instructor
insights and small-group discussions on diversification and
market expansion, future strategic business planning, increasing capital,
and branding and marketing. Because small and large companies
may use different operating procedures, the “Strategic
Management Forums” will
be offered in both large- and small-business categories this
year. This way, the ideas and materials developed in the forums
will be more
strategically aligned with the companies participating, and
may be immediately implemented following the conference.
Additionally,
CEDIA has assembled an all-star line-up of keynote
speakers and cross-industry presenters for the 2007 CEDIA
Management Conference.
The featured keynote speakers include former NBA team owner
and bestselling author Pat Croce (I
Feel Great and You Will Too!,
110%, and Lead
or Get Off the Pot!); Warren Greshes (The
Best Damn Sales Book Ever: 16
Rock Solid Rules for Achieving Sales Success!); and the host
of the powerful PBS special “The Traveler’s Gift” and
bestselling author Andy Andrews (The
Traveler’s Gift – Seven
Decisions that Determine Personal Success).
Cross-industry
presenters for the 2007 CEDIA Management Conference include
entrepreneur and author Jay Goltz (The Street-Smart
Entrepreneur); construction industry financial and management
consultant Leslie
Shiner; and Alan Fine, personal coach to some of the world’s
top athletes and business leaders. These three highly successful
individuals from
parallel businesses will share outside perspectives on the
residential electronic systems industry and offer innovative
ideas for tackling
common business challenges.
