SilverFern to Attend Midwest Regional Conference

SilverFern MLW To Attend Regional Spring Conference

Exciting news!  SilverFern just received confirmation that the location for the Midwest Regional Development Conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago downtown on March 23rd.  This stunning venue located at 151 E Wacker Drive will easily be able to accommodate the 800+ plus anticipated attendees from all across the Midwest.

This event will be geared more towards our industry's entry level demographic covering both fundamentals and new concepts in training, the sales cycle, and leadership development.  During the general session, the key note speakers will address several topics ranging from recent global expansion in Barcelona, London, and newly vetted markets in Sydney, to explaining how we are able to consistently give our Fortune 500 clients the 100% return on investment they ask for for quarter after quarter. Additional sessions will be held for more focused and individualized training in areas such as recruiting and administration, business management, and field sales. Finally, we are eager to see what philanthropy event will be held to raise money and awareness for our partner foundation, Operation Smile. 

Regional conferences offer an outstanding opportunity to hear from experts in their fields and network with veterans in the business.  We are proud that some of SilverFern's very own team members have been once again selected to speak at this event and share some of the knowledge they have acquired over their years in the industry.  No spoilers yet, but 2 other entry level associates will be given special recognition during the general session so stay tuned!  We are excited to see our fellow colleagues and friends for a weekend of learning, networking, philanthropy, and fun!
