Island Ship Center
Mini-Summit
Saturday, August 31, and Sunday, September 1, 2024
On Labor Day weekend, Saturday, August 31, and Sunday, September 1, 2024, AYM High Consultants will be hosting a mini-summit at Island Ship Center in Grand Island, New York, and we’d love if you could attend!
We already have a discount link to our hotel, DoubleTree in Niagara Falls, New York, and it will be made available to those who sign up. A special rate of $159/night has been gifted by our friends at the DoubleTree just for us, with a special link for reservations here.
(Disclosure from DoubleTree: “Notice the rate is $170.00 and not $159.00 on that site. Hilton mandates us to disclose our 7% destination fee upfront online. Everyone pays it in the end. It's part of the 21% tax rate.)
We’ll have a maximum of seven stores attending, and we want those seven stores to be those who will benefit the most and also be able to collaborate the most with each other to share, learn, and grow together.
The agenda for the AYM High Consultants Mini-Summit will be catered to the specific needs and desires of each of the seven stores present. After all sign-ups are complete, we'll publish the agenda for all attendees to know what the days will be filled with. There will definitely be hands-on print training with Seema, hands-on packaging training with Marty, hands-on marketing inspiration with Yusuf and Fahim, and hands-on pricing reviews with Yusuf and Steve. Please let us know what else you'd like to experience in Grand Island and we'll make sure we give you more than you could imagine. Stay tuned!
