SLMP 7th ANNUAL SUMMIT
Theme: Evolution of an Industry: 40 Years of Innovation
JANUARY 23 – 26, 2023
Fellow Lake Managers & Business Owners,
The Board of Directors at SLMP is excited to continue with enhancements to the format for the upcoming summit. Based on feedback from our attendees, you have indicated that sharing information is extremely valuable to you and your organization.
You spoke, we listened! Rather than the usual PowerPoint presentations for two and a half days, we will be having multiple interactive round-table Socratic discussions on a variety of topics that you told us are meaningful to you.
What are we talking about?! YOU will be part of the program every step of the way. Less lecture, more participation! More collaboration and problem solving on issues affecting YOU!
Please take a moment to view President Trent Lewis as he describes this year’s program here.
This format will need some additional involvement from more members in the form of Table Group Leaders. We will be rotating Table Group Leaders and having some fill-ins so leaders can take a break too! But I don’t know how to lead a group discussion, you say. It’s not as hard as you think, especially since SLMP will provide you with all the guidance you need. Check out this info from Trent on Table Group Leaders. You CAN do it!
See you at the world’s most famous beach!!
Your SLMP Board of Directors
REGISTRATION
SLMP has made it more cost effective for you to bring more of your staff to the summit. The more staff you bring, the better the individual registration fee gets!
Only 1 or 2 coming from your organization? The fee is $395 per person
3 to 6 people on your registration? The fee is $325 per person
Need to add more people after you’ve made your initial registration? If it puts you into a better registration fee category, we will adjust your fee accordingly, just email Maryann.
You will renew your organization’s membership for 2023 along with your summit registration. Your one annual membership fee is for your entire organization so you only pay that once no matter how many staff you bring. If you are new to the organization, select the membership option that best fits you this year. Not sure which option to choose, just ask!
