Washington Town & Country Fair
This conference was SO rich in content. Every session took the information far beyond my knowledge base…it was not just complaining about too many festivals, it was learning from them. It was not just “you should use social media”, it was the deepest dive into how to use it well that I’ve ever been a part of. More so than ever before, I felt like I was learning brand new information, especially with the emergency preparedness info. I felt completely inadequate and loved it.

I come from one of if not the smallest fair in the Association with 8,000 - 10,000 people attending our 4 day fair. I have been coming to management conference for only 3 years. I wish
someone would have told me how truly valuable this would have been to me 8 years ago when I started in the industry. I attend management conference for the tailor made programming for people
in a management position. Management Conference offers more networking with and getting to know other Managers/CEO's that you may not get the chance to sit down with at the IAFE
Convention. Even coming from a very small fair/community I have always been able to take something back and implement it at our level. Management Conference is my very favorite IAFE
event!
