As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, there’s something timeless about gathering around a campfire – especially here in the Midwest. An autumn campfire is a place where stories are told, ideas evaluated, futures dreamed and connections deepened.
I consider the annual fall industry conferences and webinars our collective campfires. These are the places where we share, learn and connect.
Next week, we will be at the ELFA annual conference. I am looking forward to seeing partners in thought leadership panels and meeting new people from the industry. I see a wide array of interesting keynote speakers, topical panel presentations and social events. I know it will be fun.
Looking ahead, we have another "campfire" moment coming with the NEFA Conference in Indianapolis from Nov. 11-14. I’m looking forward to once again gathering with industry peers, sharing insights, and strengthening the connections that build business success. So whether it’s around an actual fire, over steaming cups of pumpkin spice lattes, or through the wafting cigar smoke of a conversation with Bob Rinaldi, these moments of coming together are more important than ever.
Plus, who doesn’t love s’mores?
