Registration for the 2022 Top Echelon National Convention is now officially live!

And while I’m announcing this, let me also announce that the National Convention has a new name: Top Echelon Connect. You may remember that we also made this announcement two years ago. However, Top Echelon Connect 2020 never happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But now we’re back . . . and we’re better than ever! (Well, we hope we’re better than ever.)

While you ponder the validity of that statement, below is some important logistical information regarding the upcoming convention:

• Dates: Thursday, March 24, and Friday, March 25
• Location: Harrah’s Las Vegas Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada
• Room Rate: $79 per night
• Main speaker: Greg Doersching, President of Next Level Coaching

Greg Doersching is one of the most trusted and respected names in the recruiting industry. He will have a TON of valuable content designed to help you maximize both your recruiting desk and also your agency.

Greg may be the main speaker, but there will also be other speakers for Connect 2022 in Vegas. They include Top Echelon Software Product Manager Todd Bossler and yours truly, Andreas Codispoti. You can click here to see the preliminary agenda for the convention.

If you register for Top Echelon Connect 2022 now, you’ll pay only $549 per person. As you might expect, the price will rise for the Regular Registration and Late Registration periods.

(Note: Just so you know, the Early Bird Registration period runs from now until February 12. After that date, Regular Registration will begin.)

As we’ve done for our last several recruiter networking events, we have a special website dedicated to Top Echelon Connect 2022. The URL for that website is conventions.topechelon.com.

Click here to register for Top Echelon Connect 2022!

We want to help you make 2022 a great year for you and your agency. So register for the convention and join us in Las Vegas!
