KnowledgeFest was founded in 1993 by a group of retailers and reps in the Midwest who saw the value in mobile electronics retailers getting together to share knowledge and experiences. In sharing successes and failures, all participants become better, smarter and more profitable business people.

Today, KnowledgeFest includes over 24 education workshops, many networking opportunities, PLUS:

A- Mobile Expo exhibit floor featuring manufacturer and benefit provider exhibits and displays. Talk one on one with people you do business with (or should be!). Every major manufacturer and many specialty manufacturers will be there for you.

B- Manufacturer product training sessions so that you are the expert in your market

C- Specialized training for Management, sales, and installation techs to keep your business on the cutting edge of profitability. Whether a seasoned veteran, or a relative newcomer to mobile electronics, KnowledgeFest has something for you.

D- Many social activities after hours to bring FUN to the mix. Our previous 2010 Monday night football party is just one example. The Mobile Electronics Magazine Awards banquet is another. And there are more to be announced. You have never enjoyed adding to your skill set as much as you will at KnowledgeFest 2011!

KnowledgeFest 2011 will delve into the issues that YOU have told us are important to you. Controlling expenses, maximizing cash flow, finding new ways to compete in this new economy. Improving business relationships with manufacturers and reps. Dealing with connectivity issues and the defective dilemma. Marketing and advertising to today’s consumer. Finding ways to make the internet your friend. Areas for potential growth that you may not have considered. WAY more. Specific course and titles will be listed on the KnowledgeFest.org site soon.

A lot less than trying to get all of this content on your own! Attendance is $99 for the first person from each shop, and $50 for each person thereafter.
