Conference Recap: Courage and Connections

Since the big LTEN rebrand at last year’s conference (then known as the SPBT Annual Conference), LTEN Board of Directors, Advisory Council, Preferred Industry Partners and staff have looked for every opportunity to put networking and connecting at the very heart of everything we do.

This year’s theme, “The Power of Your Network,” fulfilled the promise and we have our member community and partners to thank. LTEN attendees took the messages of “LTEN” John and keynote Keith Ferrazzi to build communities to new heights, by reaching out to attendees to forge meaningful connections at every juncture of the event. And on the last days of the conference, when attendees were asked to raise their hand if they met someone new, every hand rose. See a VIDEO RECAP here.
