A Cut Above

CGA Strategic Conference attendees feel more like select guests than just another conference registrant. This is because we’ve thrown the traditional tradeshow experience into the scrap heap, instead offering pre-scheduled concierge-style meetings between brands and retailers, tailored educational segments and nightly social events. Need to build rapport with your top business partners or introduce a new product? You’ll leave Palm Springs on a first-name basis with important industry connections and a notebook full of insights.
