Lots of Professional Organizer conferences and other events take place each year, but by far the largest is the NAPO Annual Conference, which will take place in Columbus, Ohio, from April 21 to 24, 2010. As winner of the 2010 Los Angeles Organizing Award for Best Educational Resource, this is an important event for professional organizers from around the globe.
As always, there will be some excellent opportunities to learn from experts, network with your colleagues, and discover new organizing products and services, as well as enjoy delicious food and take in the local sights and sounds. For a quick summary, check out this video message from NAPO President Laura Leist:
The theme, INNOVATE, CONNECT, and INSPIRE, will be reinforced by the three keynote speakers:
- Tim Sanders – Innovating How We Connect
- Gina Schreck – Connecting Via Technology
- Monica Wofford – Inspiration: Contagious Leadership™ of You, Your Customers and Your Business
In addition, there are educational sessions covering a wide range of topics to meet the needs of organizing consultants at all levels, including:
- Porter Knight – Starting an Organizing Business
- Krista Green – 4 Keys to Business Mastery in the Organizing Industry
- Allison Carter and Brandie Kajino – How to Make Money with Virtual Classes
Be sure to plan ahead so you can take advantage of the early bird discount, which is available until March 22.
If you’re on Twitter, watch for the hashtag #napo10 to keep track of who’s going to the conference and what they’re saying about it. I understand a Tweet-up is in the works, so if you’re planning to attend, you’ll want to register for that as well, since it’s not an official NAPO activity.
Visit the NAPO website to download a complete program or register for the conference. It’s one of the best investments in your business you can make!
