Network2015is an event so packed with networking, education and thought-provoking speakers that it’s hard to believe it is encapsulated in a two-and-a-half day event. By bringing together the top CEOs, owners and sales executives in our industry, it provides educational sessions to keep you ahead of the curve.

Network always has hit the mark, but this year is different. Different because we have enhanced the program by doubling the amount of educational seminars and speakers thanks in large part to the support of American Supply Association’s Education Foundation. 

Featured speakers

Building on the excitement from last year’s event, our headline speaker will definitely keep you talking. “Lone Survivor” Marcus Luttrell will share his story of being one of four Navy SEALs who journeyed into the mountainous border of Afghanistan and Pakistan during Operation Redwing and the courage and honor of those extraordinary warriors who did not make it off the mountain.

Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Ron “Jaws” Jaworski, a leader both on and off the field, will define the lines of where sports and business intersect. We also will hear fromDinesh D’Souza, a policy analyst in the Reagan White House and author of many books who will paint a portrait of how America has been a shining city on the hill, a symbol of freedom and an example of opportunity for the rest of the world. But what if America had never been founded? D’Souza will answer that question in Chicago.

Concluding the educational programming is the always anticipated Industry Forecast for 2016, ASA’s cornerstone member benefit. The forecast will be presented by economistBrian Beaulieu and revealed exclusively at Network.

As always, Network is loaded with powerful tools and topics for our industry leaders and decision-makers.
