February 10, 2016  by in Industry, Special Events   

The conference, to be held Sept. 28-30, is a change from the organization’s typical November schedule.

The 3rd Annual Gift & Home Bridgeway Collaborative Conference will continue its focus of making the industry stronger by welcoming individuals from key groups and associations under one roof for educational keynote presentations and breakout workshops, ample and strategic networking, social and philanthropic events, and more.

An early bird registration rate of $399 is available to members of the Gift & Home Bridgeway Collaborative organizations until March 1, and comes with a two-installment payment plan option. The first half of the fee—$199.50—is due at the time of registration, with the second payment due 75 days later or on May 15, whichever comes first. The payment plan is available for the early bird rate only. The rate will increase to $549 March 2 and again July 3 to $699.

Organizations involved in the Collaborative are: GHTA, Gift Sales Managers Association [GSMA], Accessories Resource Team [ART], Young Gift Executives [YGE], and Gift for Life [GFL]. Non-members are invited to attend the conference at a rate of $699. Online registration, along with additional information, can be found online. 

“Our 2015 conference was incredibly successful, entertaining and well attended, but we are encouraging even greater industry participation by changing the dates to September,” said Joe Harris, president of the Gift and Home Trade Association and partner at Whereoware. “We are working hard to craft a conference that takes this year’s event to the next level. Not only are we fixated on developing an educational and networking experience that is unmatched, but also on creating a social element that allows our attendees to indulge in all that San Diego has to offer.”
