2013 - Your BIG Breakthrough!

Live and in person at the Rosen Plaza Hotel, International Drive, Orlando, Florida

October 17-19, 2013

The 2013 program is a bold, break-all-the-rules, high-energy, hands-on, slam-dunk-your-success lineup for resume writers, career professionals, and industry entrepreneurs!

Plus, it's live and face-to-face so you can truly get to know your colleagues and build those strong and enduring networks, business connections, and friendships that are a key part of participating in a conference.

We've listened to you and designed 2013 with 'something different' to ensure you will walk away from each session with a powerful and tangible 'next step' action plan, and that you end each day with several 'a-ha!' experiences.

The 2013 Summit is about Making Your Big Breakthrough! It is more than just showing up or dialing in; it's being fully engaged, empowered, and enriched so you return to your business or career ready to rule.
