Converter Think Tank Session | Friday, January 15, 2021 | 2:00pm EST

Among the AICC's highlights this year were the weekly COVID calls developed to help you, the AICC member, navigate the complexities of work, employees, customers, and overall business challenges. One of the benefits that came from these "get togethers" was the peer to peer connections made, and the critical information members were able to provide one another to navigate this new business paradigm.

AICC's Converter Think Tanks were developed to continue the peer to peer conversations on topics affecting your business today and beyond. We will hone in on specific challenges that are emerging and find members nationwide to offer their insights and perspectives based on their successes, challenges, and your questions. These sessions will start with conversations between members with knowledge on specific topics and will provide an open forum for questions as well as insights from participants faced with similar challenges.
