Join a stellar collection of clients, national speakers and peers for a three-day excursion filled with skills development, market awareness and networking events that will bring certain value to you and your firm. Focusing on client relationships, communication and leadership skills and differentiation planning, our educational programs will set you up to shine. So in this tumultuous and highly competitive business we are in, we say to you, "In the race to succeed...lead the way!"

"The Heartland Regional Conference combines multiple chapters, excellent programming from both local speakers and experts from around the country, and valuable networking. Our regional event—almost like a smaller version of the national SMPS conference—is a tremendous value, and right in our own backyard. The conference brings together nearby chapters, providing the opportunity to network with potential teaming partners and to meet fellow SMPS members that soon become friends. In addition to building on the success of the inaugural 2008 event, this year’s conference has the added benefit of the Pinnacle Awards—a program that will both honor and inspire excellence among all of us."
