Last week, more than 1,000 direct selling industry leaders and innovators gathered in Phoenix, AZ for the world’s most comprehensive exhibition of direct selling goods and services. The meeting included a variety of workshops and sessions that enabled attendees to share strategies, best practices and technology solutions that are helping to revolutionize this fast growing industry.
