“The speaker lineup this year is phenomenal,” says NSCA executive director Chuck Wilson.
“Every single person we’ve invited to speak will impact attendees in their own unique ways. We’re hitting on the major pain points we hear about from integrators, helping them turn team members into top performers and create new growth opportunities.” [related]
NSCA’s BLC “has become the industry’s most notable platform for executive-level education and networking,” according to the association announcement. The event brings executives together annually “to share stories, learn from other leaders, and hear about new ways to embrace technology and motivate employees.”
First-time BLC attendees may apply for a Randy Vaughan Founder’s Award to receive free registration. To qualify, applicants must be in a management or decision-making role. Applications are due by Dec. 1.
Attendees are also encouraged to register for the annual NSCA Education Foundation Industry Charity Golf Outing at the Saddlebrook Resort Palmer Golf Course on Feb. 27, 2019.
This event kicks off the Business & Leadership Conference every year and helps NSCA raise funds for programs such as Ignite and PASS K-12.
