From AFFTA:
We’re 12 days from Christmas and only 12 5 booths away from IFTD being SOLD OUT!
So, here’s what we’re going to do:
If the last 12 booths are sold before Christmas we will randomly choose one of the final 12 exhibitors to give an amazing gift to the retailer of their choice…
Round trip airfare for one domestic flight to Denver to attend the show andhotel accommodations at the Embassy Suites!
To light the participation fire – we’re excited to announce that one of our conservation partners, Captains for Clean Water, has laid claim to the first of the 12 booths!
If you haven’t reserved your space yet, there’s no better time than right now. Get in on your booth before the show is sold out, and start thinking about which retailer made your nice list!
Email Ben at [email protected] to reserve your space today or visit affta.org/iftd-show for more information.
AFFTA Dealer Summit heads to Austin, TX March 19 – 22, 2019
The American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA) is excited to announce the return of their popular specialty retail business development event, the Dealer Summit. March 19 – 22, 2019, Austin, TX will play host to this year’s three-day line-up of seminars and roundtable discussions led by some of the best marketing, retail and business strategy minds in the industry.
“The Dealer Summit is the only event in our industry – on the fly fishing or conventional side – that focuses entirely on giving specialty retailers expert insights and actionable strategies for growing their business,” says Ben Bulis, AFFTA President. “It’s a fantastic business resource for any angling retailer, and all are welcome to register. There’s nothing else like it.”
This marks the 5th year of fly fishing retailers and industry experts gathering from across the country for the Summit. Past years have been hosted in Bozeman, MT and Aspen, CO.
Speakers at this year’s event include: Rich Hill, President, The Grassroots Outdoor Alliance; Art Webb, Owner, Silver Kings TV; Robert Prioleau, Owner Blue Ion; Dan Mann, President, The Mann Group; Leslie Cunningham, VP Strategy, The Mann Group; Dan Morgan, CMO, Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing; and Lucas Bissett, Owner, Low Tide Charters.
Seminars will cover topics from the mind of the consumer and crafting a marketing plan to online, social and digital tactics and creating the “out-of-shop experience.”
Early bird registration is open now through December 31, 2018. Lodging at the discount rate is also available through February 26th or until the group room block is sold out.
