This year, we'll be celebrating 25 years of hosting agents at our signature DU event in Anaheim. It's no ordinary year, and we're mixing up our usual format. You can still expect an eager group of agents and an opportunity to share exciting and new information, but with a cool new addition: our inaugural trade show!
Circle September 25 on your calendar, as this is when we unveil our exciting new feature: our very first trade show! Scheduled for the morning, this day will continue on to an evening celebration held offsite. The trade show and reception serve as the perfect backdrop for all our talented agents and suppliers to mix and mingle and make new connections.
This year, our 45 minute presentation spots are exclusively for ALL IN suppliers. But the trade show isn't choosy - all suppliers are welcome to participate. Our brand new trade show offers the perfect opportunity for new suppliers to meet and collaborate with our fantastic agents.
A quarter-century celebration coupled with an opportunity to spark new connections – This is one event you simply cannot afford to miss!

FAQ
Question: How many agents will be attending? Answer: We've just opened up registration, but agents are very excited about this event. We're expecting about 40 agents this year.
Question: How does the tradeshow work? Answer: This is our first time doing a trade show, so we're still working out the details. But we will have a small table space available for everyone who signs up to attend. There will be limited space for stand up/table top or wall displays, so please let me know if you have something you would like to bring and I will see if we can make it work. We hope this will be an opportunity for you to engage with our agents as you see fit. Maybe they will have questions for you? Or maybe you will have questions for them? You will have a captive audience of agents and plenty of time.
Question: What about brochures? Answer: Our agents loves brochures and tangible items they can associate with your company. Many of our agents don't necessarily attend industry events, so they don't often get that trade show experience. You are encouraged to bring your best goodies!
Question: Do you do any giveways? Answer: In honor of our 25th Anniversary Celebration, we would love to giveaway as many prizes as we can! You can do one during the trade show, or if you have a really great prize, we would love to save it for our finale reception. (Incentive for our agents not to leave before the event is over!) If you have an idea, let's chat!
Question: Where will the evening reception on September 25 be located? Answer: We're still working out the details on this one, but it will be located offsite, close to the hotel. You are welcome to meet us there or travel (most likely walking) with our agents from the Desert Palms.
