by Karen Klein, AIIP 2020 Conference Chair

Set against the backdrop of Denver, U.S.A and the Rocky Mountains, AIIP’s annual conference takes place April 23-26, 2020.

Don’t miss this gathering of independent business owners, including consultants, researchers, freelancers, marketers, writers, and knowledge managers. It’s the ideal setting to meet with like-minded professionals with the shared experience of operating their own businesses.

The four-day event features dynamic speakers, thought-provoking sessions, and multiple networking opportunities. The program is built around four learning themes:

• Professional Development
• Business Development
• Tools of the Trade
• Personal Enrichment

Hear from keynote speakers who are thought leaders in their fields; discover insights about yourself to reach your full potential; and connect with fellow attendees who may become collaborators. Our program features plenty of opportunities for organized and spontaneous networking.

In addition to the full-conference program, you can attend two premium pre-conference workshops for more in-depth learning opportunities.
