As we are emerging from the global economic strain of the last couple of years, the Concierge and Lifestyle Management Industry is in the position to make a significant impact on the changing service growth landscape.  Growth opportunities in our industry include business outsourcing, senior services, event planning, dissolution preparation, household management and business partnering.

There is no better way to learn about where our industry is headed or learn how to grow your business than to gather with other ICLMA members in Tampa, Florida September 29 through October 2, 2010. ICLMA attracts the people who have been the foundation of the industry and those on the verge of business excellence. By choosing to be in Tampa, you become one of those who helps shape the future. 

Why should you come to Tampa?

• Education – Our sessions will focus on how to build and expand business models. It is important to know what others around the globe are doing.  We will feature specific topics that will challenge members on how to become more dynamic business entrepreneurs.
• Networking – Perhaps the greatest benefit of attending any gathering of professionals is the opportunity to learn from others outside the classroom.  In the emerging Concierge and Lifestyle Management industry, our success depends on establishing global networks and alliances.
• Building Twenty-First Century Relationships – It is imperative that we learn how to build relationships with business partners by exploring the newest ideas on how to connect in this technologically changing world.
•  Work/Life Balance – There is something to be said for those of us who fail to practice what we preach.  The ICLMA conference is an excellent way to take a bit of time for yourself and perhaps your family too, and combine professional development and vacation time in Tampa.

Tampa is a beautiful resort location on Florida’s west coast. Our conference center at the Grand Hyatt is a beautiful setting. We met in Tampa in 2008 at the Grand Hyatt and were so pleased with the quality of the hotel and conference amenities we couldn’t resist returning.  Our conference location is only minutes to some of the most beautiful beaches, restaurants and cultural diverse settings in the world. Oh, and the world of Disney beckons at every turn.

I invite you and your family to make plans to join ICLMA in Tampa, Florida September 29 – October 2, 2010.  ICLMA will help you build your business and your business network for this exciting opportunity.

See you in September!
