Next Generation Now Endorses HFNC Sessions

April 28, 2014  by in Industry   

These sessions will help NGN retailers grow their businesses, connect with and learn from successful retailers, and learn how to use technology effectively in their businesses. Key sessions on Monday of the conference include: "How Much is that Doggy in the Showroom?"; "Knight & Day"; "Your Personal Brand"; "Lunch with Mattress Mack"; and "You Got a Problem With That?"

Tuesday sessions include: "Platinum Customer Service"; "Awesomely Awesome"; "People Power"; and "Employee Matters."

NGN also is promoting networking during the conference with reserved tables at all Main Stage events, a focused facilities tour at American Furniture Warehouse (Monday afternoon), a social hour (Monday evening) and a dine-around option in downtown Chandler (Monday night).

“I believe conference holds a lot of answers to questions young people are asking,” said Lael Thompson, COO of Broyhill Home Collection, Aurora, Colo., and one of NGN's leaders. “The benefit of this conference is that the education and networking opportunities are geared to help retailers operate better and make more money. Young people have the opportunity to meet and learn from industry veterans and young people alike. These three days can replace years of learning things the hard way. Plus we have a lot of fun networking and socializing.”

“Along with sessions geared toward seasoned retailers, conference delivers content that is relevant to professionals just starting their journey.” said Sharron Bradley, NAHFA’s CEO. “Conference suits the needs of all retailers no matter where they are in their career.”
