Presented in partnership with DynaSCAPE, presenter Aprille Janes will look at utilizing personality types to sell designs, and Ellen Ecker Ogden will share her expertise on edibles. James Garfield Thompson will inspire attendees with his uncanny ability to replicate nature. Prepared to be wowed! Event partners will be located in the lobby throughout the day, showcasing the latest products and technologies to delegates. The day will conclude with the ever-popular networking reception.
