Working on your business... and not just in it.AIM/R's headed to Scottsdale for the 53rd Annual Conference. The Scottsdale Resort & Spa is our home base, just minutes from downtown Scottsdale. Our theme is Working on your business... and not just in it. By our nature as Rep Agents, we thrive in networking, travel, and making the sale. However, there are several moving parts to the core of our companies. Together we can do more for our businesses this fall but only if you join us. Join your industry colleagues and peers this October for an experience that will have you exploring new horizons. Both the Conference Committee and I are jumping into the planning now to bring you the very best. Your AIM/R Favorites - Networking opportunities, critical topics facing the industry, Vendor Exhibits, LOT/T Experience - are on the schedule. Be on the lookout for a few new things in 2025.
