The upcoming Consultants Forum at The Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, December 7-10 is already 70% full.
With three months remaining it appears that this Forum like the previous five Consultants Forum conferences will be another “sold out” event weeks before its deadline.
The expanded program with its power hitting speaker line up of site consultants creates high demand for “a seat” at the Forum and is driving this anticipated early sell out.
