2016 - 10X Better
A brief recap of 2016 F2FEC
10X Better
Action may not bring happiness, but there is not happiness, without action
10X Better is the push to be better, to elevate what you do and to elevate what we do as an industry. We don’t want to be considered the best of the best, we want to be considered the best at what we do. By taking small incremental steps and focusing on the things within our control we can all elevate our businesses; become better marketers, service provides and purveyors of fun, socialization and togetherness.
Face 2 Face Entertainment Conference (F2FEC) was three days of intense, interactive business discussions, led by an array of the most accomplished professional in the industry. Through powerful group sessions and the willingness to share wisdom for the success of each other, you had exclusive access to the insights and trade secrets that keep your FEC profitable, relevant, and memorable.
