"The NASMM conference is an invaluable benefit to me and my business. The amount and quality of education is tremendous. The networking and the ability to learn from my colleagues are also so helpful. I plan to make the conference an annual experience. I would also especially encourage those new to the industry to attend. It is the "hand-up" you need!"

"I was extremely impressed by all facets of the 2012 (and my first) NASMM Conference. I just can't say enough about how great it was. As a new member to NASMM, I was so impressed by the "Buddy" program. I was in sales with IBM for many years and attended an annual kick-off conference for years, and the format was similar in that they had morning speakers and breakout sessions in the afternoon. IBM had many teams and resources to put this together. I thought that NASMM's conference was every bit as organized and the NASMM speakers were as good, if not better."

"The NASMM Conference is a must-attend event for Downsizing Diva! Nowhere else do we have the opportunity to network with fellow SMMs, share information, stories and a few laughs and learn from experts in Senior Move Management and related fields. We love that the Conference is held in January and helps set the tone for the upcoming year. Thanks! We wouldn't miss it for the world!"

"At first, I was worried about the cost. Now I know better. It was well worth the investment! I left invigorated, inspired, and excited about my business."

"This conference exceeded all of my expectations. Being paired with a Buddy for my first conference was an excellent idea. My Buddy was waiting for me when I arrived, and was extremely helpful. The quality of the speakers and the variety of topics to choose from was beyond my expectations."

"Until I attended the 2012 NASMM Conference (my first), I felt the usefulness of the listserv and the information gathered there was enough to justify my membership in NASMM. It is an excellent resource, particularly for those who are new to the business. But, the CONFERENCE! Wow! Maybe it’s because it is the first conference I've attended where I'm representing my own business, but it was one of the most valuable experiences I have ever had (and I've been to many, many conferences in my professional career). I continue to be very impressed with the generosity of people in the Senior Move Management business. I guess it’s just because this business attracts nice people. I came home full of ideas, enthusiasm and hope for my fledgling business. Thank you, NASMM. You are rock stars."

"Coming to the NASMM conference is like "coming home." It’s a special time to "talk" with people who REALLY understand, to hang out with long-time move manager friends, and to see the excitement and enthusiasm of the "newbies" - giving them advice, learning lots of nuggets to take back to try, and returning home with renewed enthusiasm. Loved every minute of the conference. Looking forward with excitement to next year."

"As a member who has attended all of the NASMM Conferences, I cannot stress enough how helpful and worthwhile it has been for my business and me. In addition to learning so much, I get energized and inspired at each conference to go home and implement new practices. Meeting so many NASMM members from all parts of the US (and Canada, and the UK!) also helps greatly when I need to refer a client making a long-distance move. I feel much more confident referring a member whom I've met and spoken with at conference. This works both ways, too - I have received referrals from other members such that, each year, the revenues I get from member referrals pay for my conference attendance and travel costs! The 2012 conference was a wonderful experience and I am eagerly anticipating next year's conference in Florida."

I felt it was a great investment in her training and knowledge of what we do for our clients and to keep her motivated about her job. Thank you for offering discounts on bringing others from our businesses, an opportunity that will offer a huge return."

"I attended the NASMM Conference for the first time in 2012. I've been helping seniors move for 9 years and have been a Senior Move Manager for 6 years. I thought the overall conference was excellent and everyone interested in building their business should attend this conference. I met SMMs who I will refer to across the country and, after meeting them, trust they'll take great care of my clients."

"I haven't missed a conference since we founded NASMM. And I can't imagine that I ever would. Even though I'm in my 15th year of business as a Senior Move Manager, I ALWAYS learn so much, and, even better, come back to work with a clear "To Do" list and the energy to implement it!"

"If you are a Senior Move Manager, you should not miss the NASMM Annual Conferences. I've been a member for 3 years and have been to all 3 conferences. The conference affords me the opportunity to learn new strategies that I haven't learned before. I ALWAYS learn something new. I also make a point of meeting at least five (5) new people - to make new friendships and discuss and/or problem solve when we get back to our offices. I keep in touch with the owners over the year. NASMM has helped my company grow in the last three years due to the great education sessions and networking opportunities. Meeting the vendors is also a plus, as they have also helped us with many of our clients over the years."
