Expo, Expo! Read all about it!

The 2016 Retail Shippers Expo is only a week away! Can you believe it!?

I and my fellow members of the board and staff of AMBC can’t wait to see all of you next week in Las Vegas. We’ve been working hard for the last year, together with RS Associates, to make sure this year’s expo is the best one yet!

We hope you’ll join us in as many of the breakout sessions as you can. I’ll be teaching a Marketing with Marty™ seminar, Inside Out Marketing 3.0, as well as a practical packing session, Packing Tips for Large, Fragile, Valuable, and Awkward Items. Fahim will be leading a series of social media classes (Social Media 101, Social Media 201, …) that no one can afford to miss! Jan will be presenting a session in I-9 signing, and Sarah will be opening your eyes in Customer Service for Millennials. There are so many more subjects that will be covered, presented by the industry’s best!

At the speed rounds, I hope you’ll stop by my table for a live Ask Uncle Marty™ session, and then stop by any of the other dozens of tables for expert consultation on 30 different topics! We’ll have a table on the AMBC Certified Store Program and Master of Retail Shipping Management degree, and of course Fahim will be entertaining guests at his #FahimFix corner. 

Certified courses that count toward your master degree are all available at Expo, including new owner training, basic and advanced packing, domestic and international shipping, commercial mail receiving, and so much more! 

AMBC will be holding an advocacy meeting at Expo, and we hope you all can participate. Our members helping members slogan really shines as you hear what we do, as a non-profit, to speak on your behalf … behind the scenes, in the trenches, to ensure our independent member stores are treated fairly and given rightful opportunity in a competitive industry. Last year, at this advocacy meeting, the idea for the AMBC Certified Store Program was hatched, and we can’t wait to see what amazing things come from this year’s discussions.

Countless vendors will be on hand at Expo, and coming together for the retail shipping and business center industry’s largest trade show. The point of sale vendors, PostalMate and ShipRite, will all have training sessions, demos, and staff on hand to help. They, along with AMBC, RSA, DHL, FedEx, UPS, the USPS, and other major sponsors will be providing breaks, meals, entertainment, and so much more! And, as you’ve all likely heard by now, Employees vs. Bosses: The Ultimate Showdown, presented by AMBC, will take place on Thursday night. It’s going to be a #BLAST!

This just scratches the surface of the incredible line-up that you’ll find at the Retail Shippers Expo next week in Las Vegas. We can’t wait to see you there, hear your success stories, be inspired, and grow together!
