Mark your calendar now for the NIBA winter event February 23 at the Newport Beach, CA Marriott as a little bit of Chicago and New York comes to Southern California!
The NIBA regulary holds an annual spring meeting in New York City and a fall event in Chicago - the centers of futures trading in the U.S. In distant Southern California the futures business is spread out over an immense landscape – creating a “vacuum” of interpersonal relationships and perhaps too, a sense of detachment from the industry. The NIBA SoCal conference successfully addresses this situation. Attendees are afforded the opportunity to hear a panel of experts on important topics critical to the growth and success of their businesses. The closing networking reception will provide the chance for participants to interact with their peers from across the southland, exchanging ideas, discussing concerns, and trading professional experiences, thus creating greater opportunities, both personal and professional.
The afternoon conference will consist of three business sessions followed by an open reception. The program is being put together now, with compliance, marketing, and the economic outlook being considered as topics. To suggest topics or speakers, or to volunteer to help plan and implement the meeting, contact John, jjensen@hwfi.com, Ralph, rpreston@hwfi.com or Melinda, melinda@futuresrep.com. The agenda and registration will be available at www.theniba.com about the first week in December.
John Jensen & Ralph Preston are NIBA co-chairs for this event. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Contact Melinda or Mike, mikeb@highgroundtrading.com.
