imageWelcome, everyone, to Worldwide Partner Conference 2015 Day 1 here in Orlando, FL! If you have been a follower of mine for awhile, you know that this is my favorite week of the year because I absolutely love the chance to get to see so many of you I’ve had the pleasure to work with over the years in person and I also have the opportunity to meet so many more of you for the first time! Hearing your stories about you, your companies, what you do, your success stories, and more is just one of the things that make this week so phenomenal. For those of you I do see again or get to meet for the first time, don’t forget that I’m once again putting together my2015 Fantastic People of Worldwide Partner Conference, so be sure to come up and say, “Hi,” while you’re here and let’s grab a picture together for this year’s collection.
