Furniture First Sets 2015 Symposium

August 25, 2014  by in Industry, Special Events   

The theme for this event is “Your Ticket to Breakthrough Performance,” acknowledging Nashville’s reputation as Music City. Members will participate in peer-to-peer and vendor-led networking sessions, attend presentations given by retail experts, and learn from inspiring keynote speakers. After sessions and at the conclusion of events, attendees can enjoy the night life and attractions of downtown Nashville, including the nearby Music City Center, Honky Tonk Row and the Country Music Hall of Fame expansion adjoining the hotel.

The group’s 2014 symposium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was its most successful symposium to date, with attendance reaching an all-time high. Furniture First hopes to set new records for 2015.

“The benefit for participating members and vendor partners is the same – the opportunity to work together and learn together,” said Bill Hartman, president of Furniture First. “We build as much face time into the schedule as possible so that retailers and vendors can network to gather insights and new ideas. These interactions, combined with structured sessions and presentations, give the symposium value as a complete business tool.”

To promote and organize the next event, Furniture First will again use its symposium microsite. This website will highlight the meeting agenda and session descriptions, provide guest speaker bios, list local restaurants and attractions, and allow members to register online.
