The 2010 IGIA Convention Committee selected the theme of “Passport to Prosperity” for this year’s event. In the New Year comes a new decade with new opportunities and the committee is putting an emphasis on all the exciting, new possibilities the immediate future holds for the grocery industry. To help showcase this excitement and put things in perspective, talented speakers such as Desi Williamson and Drew McLellan will help highlight the list of presenters. Williamson is an empowering speaker who inspires teams to raise their standards of performance while cultivating and developing better leaders. Not only does his presentations show people how they can do more than survive tough times, but they show them how to succeed despite their adversities.
A native of St. Louis, Williamson has been on the front line, building multi-million dollar businesses, managing multimillion dollar budgets, and developing the potential in people for powerhouse companies such as Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo and Dr Pepper Snapple Group. He also owns a successful real estate investment company.
McLellan is a master in the world of branding and marketing, and he goes to great lengths to help his clients discover their brand so they can create authentic love affairs with their customers. He discusses topics such as “Your Brand is not Your Logo,” “Marketing Mistakes You Can’t Afford to Make” and “Welcome to the Age of Conversation,” which dives into the power of the Internet and realm of social media.
McLellan’s presentation – “The Thrill and Threat of Social Media” – will address your company’s need for and fear against tools such as blogs, Twitter and Facebook.
Also speaking at the 2010 IGIA Convention will be Rob Denson, president of Des Moines Area Community College; Garry Smith, president of American Pop Corn Company; Brigadier General Timothy E. Orr, adjutant general of the Iowa Army National Guard; and Scott Sundstrom, of Nyemaster Law Firm.
