What is KnowledgeFest?
KnowledgeFest was founded in 1994 by a group of passionate specialty 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 businesspeople. Since that time, KnowledgeFest has grown into a full trade show and educational conference like no other in our industry.
What's in it for me?
Today, KnowledgeFest events includes over educational workshops, manufacturer trainings, great networking opportunities, and a trade show area featuring key manufacturers and benefit providers. Talk one-on-one with people with which you do business (or should be!). Many major and specialty manufacturers will be there for you.
Over 100 hours of learning opportunities with specialized training for owner/managers, sales/marketing professionals, and technician/fabricators all designed to keep your business on the cutting edge of profitability. Join your favorite suppliers for training sessions that are designed to make you the expert in your market. Whether you're a seasoned veteran, or a relative newcomer to mobile electronics, KnowledgeFest has something for you.
What will I learn?
KnowledgeFest events will speak to the issues that retailers have told us are important for managing and growing their business. For example, topics like controlling expenses, maximizing cash flow, and finding new ways to compete in this challenging economy. Learn the best ways for improving business relationships with manufacturers and reps, find out how to deal with connectivity issues and the defective dilemma and make the right decisions for marketing and advertising to today's consumer. Find the most effective ways to make the Internet and Social Media your friends and realize areas for potential growth that you may not have considered.
