We\u2019re only weeks away from my favorite event of the year, <a href=\"https:\/\/connections.live\/?utm_source=pdi-website&amp;utm_medium=blog-bethany&amp;utm_campaign=connections-live-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PDI Connections Live 2024<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that, because I\u2019m watching the countdown tracker on the event website (and the team is going into mega-prep mode). My colleague, Traci Fulmer, recently wrote a great <a href=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/blog\/join-us-at-pdi-connections-live-2024\/\">blog post<\/a> on why and how we\u2019re transforming our legacy PDI Users Conference into PDI Connections Live. Our goal is to help connect our industry\u2014PDI customers, industry vendors, and anyone else who\u2019s part of the convenience ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out her post for what you can expect at the event\u2014I think it will be especially helpful for anyone who hasn\u2019t attended one of our user conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve already registered or are still thinking about joining us in Washington, DC, I thought I\u2019d share some tips on what you can do to get ready. I also want to recommend some of my own favorite elements of the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, please note a couple fast-approaching deadlines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>July 24:<\/strong> The discounted hotel rate ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>August 9:<\/strong> The Advanced Discount rate ends ($200 savings off the standard rate).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At the risk of stating the obvious, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/connections.live\/?utm_source=pdi-website&amp;utm_medium=blog-bethany&amp;utm_campaign=connections-live-2024\">register now<\/a>\u00a0if you haven\u2019t already done so. Enough said on that front. Now, here\u2019s your to-do list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-book-your-hotel-room\">Book your hotel room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cvent.me\/8alxWr?utm_source=pdi-website&amp;utm_medium=blog-bethany&amp;utm_campaign=connections-live-2024\">Gaylord National Resort<\/a> is an amazing property, and we\u2019ve scored a fantastic discount rate for all attendees. Be sure to reserve your hotel room ASAP since the discounted room rate ends on July 24. Please note that the allotted room block is nearly full, so don\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/gaylord-national-connections-live-2024-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/gaylord-national-connections-live-2024-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/gaylord-national-connections-live-2024-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/gaylord-national-connections-live-2024-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/gaylord-national-connections-live-2024.jpg 1336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mbm-spacer mbm-spacer__16 mbm-spacer__sm-16 mbm-spacer__md-32 mbm-spacer__lg-48 wp-block-mbm-responsive-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-download-the-mobile-app-before-you-go\">Download the mobile app before you go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re continually adding functionality to our mobile app for the conference. You\u2019ll be able to track your agenda, set up meetings, and stay connected for the week. As soon as the app is ready for download in August, we\u2019ll notify all registered attendees via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-select-your-classes-and-sessions\">Select your classes and sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already done so, make sure you\u2019ve locked in your agenda to get your top choices. I also want to highlight a special new session we\u2019re calling \u201cspeed networking.\u201d Several attendees asked for this type of session to make more connections in a professional but casual environment. You can set your agenda when you register, or you can log back into the event website at any time to make adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus tip: If you\u2019d like to connect with me or you have an interest in Marketing Thought Leadership, we have several Marketing networking opportunities and sessions this year. Don\u2019t miss this chance to meet your peers and extend your professional network in the most efficient way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Select-your-classes-and-sessions-1350x974-1-1024x739.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Select-your-classes-and-sessions-1350x974-1-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Select-your-classes-and-sessions-1350x974-1-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Select-your-classes-and-sessions-1350x974-1-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Select-your-classes-and-sessions-1350x974-1.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mbm-spacer mbm-spacer__16 mbm-spacer__sm-16 mbm-spacer__md-32 mbm-spacer__lg-48 wp-block-mbm-responsive-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-let-your-colleagues-know-what-you-re-doing\">Let your colleagues know what you\u2019re doing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re active on social channels, we\u2019ve created some Connections Live 2024 posts that you can share with your network.

And feel free to put your own spin on it as you let your colleagues know what you\u2019re up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As promised, here are a few personal recommendations on what to do while you\u2019re at the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-build-your-leadership-skills\">Build your leadership skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We selected this year\u2019s keynote speaker for his outstanding leadership and team-building insights. As a former US Naval Officer and author of multiple leadership books, Mike Abrashoff has honed his ability to simplify the concepts of leadership and share practical tips to help you enhance your own skills. I personally got extremely motivated just by reading Mike\u2019s bio on the event website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-meet-industry-leading-vendors\">Meet industry-leading vendors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to all the PDI offerings, you\u2019ll have a chance to get a closer look at a wide range of industry solutions in the Expo. Be sure to spend Sunday and Monday evening meeting with our conference sponsors while enjoying some great food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fintech-uc-2023-1350x974-1-1024x739.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fintech-uc-2023-1350x974-1-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fintech-uc-2023-1350x974-1-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fintech-uc-2023-1350x974-1-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fintech-uc-2023-1350x974-1.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mbm-spacer mbm-spacer__16 mbm-spacer__sm-16 mbm-spacer__md-32 mbm-spacer__lg-48 wp-block-mbm-responsive-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-visit-the-connected-convenience-store\">Visit the Connected Convenience Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favorite parts of last year\u2019s event was the Connected Convenience Store in the center of the Expo. This is the spot to see the latest c-store innovations in action and connect with the product experts to ask all your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-unleash-your-competitive-spirit-at-game-night\">Unleash your competitive spirit at Game Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, I have to admit I got a little bit competitive during Game Night last year. But it was such a blast getting to hang out with everyone in a casual setting. We\u2019ve also made some enhancements for this Monday night event, so expect even more games, snacks, and refreshments. And, for those of you who enjoy a bit of action, we\u2019re adding a ping-pong tournament featuring our fearless leader and CEO, Jimmy Frangis. Stay tuned for sign-ups if you want to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-wear-your-favorite-island-attire-for-big-night-out\">Wear your favorite island attire for Big Night Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you thought last year\u2019s 80s-themed Big Night Out party was fun, we\u2019re going to try to top it this year with our tropical-themed \u201cParadise on the Potomac\u201d customer appreciation event. Be sure to wear your wildest island attire for a Tuesday night filled with live music and games. I promise our Marketing leadership team will deliver\u2014our motto is \u201cgo big or go home.\u201d After all, it is BIG Night Out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus tip: On the topic of wardrobe, bring comfortable shoes. At PDI we\u2019ve been participating in an internal step challenge so we\u2019ll be physically ready to keep up with everyone. Optimal shoe game is key! I know my partner in CMO crime, Derek Gaskins of Yesway, will be bringing his A-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Parot-Only-01-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Parot-Only-01-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Parot-Only-01-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Parot-Only-01-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Parot-Only-01-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Parot-Only-01-1.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mbm-spacer mbm-spacer__16 mbm-spacer__sm-16 mbm-spacer__md-32 mbm-spacer__lg-48 wp-block-mbm-responsive-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-help-out-with-a-good-cause\">Help out with a good cause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last in this list, but first in my heart, I wanted to call out this year\u2019s charitable cause. We\u2019re donating to a great organization, <a href=\"https:\/\/operationhomefront.org\/\">Operation Homefront<\/a>, that helps provide financial assistance programs for military families in our communities. To help contribute to the cause, all you need to do is download the mobile app, visit the sponsor booths in the Expo, and scan the QR codes in each booth. The more codes you scan, the more PDI will donate on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope to see you in Washington, DC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mbm-spacer mbm-spacer__16 mbm-spacer__sm-16 mbm-spacer__md-32 mbm-spacer__lg-48 wp-block-mbm-responsive-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mbm-card wp-block-mbm-card has-background has-gray-alt-1-background-color has-border border-radius__0 padding__md\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-charlie-font-size\" id=\"h-register-for-pdi-connections-live-2024\">Register for PDI Connections Live 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group media-object is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"176\" height=\"74\" src=\"https:\/\/pditechnologies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Cl-square-logo-2x.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15261\" style=\"width:100px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group media-body is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/connections.live\/?utm_source=pdi-website&amp;utm_medium=blog-bethany&amp;utm_campaign=connections-live-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign up today<\/a> for Connections Live 2024, the industry\u2019s premier training and networking event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What:<\/strong> PDI Connections Live 2024<br><strong>When:<\/strong> August 25-28<br><strong>Where:<\/strong> Gaylord National Resort in Washington, DC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mbm-spacer mbm-spacer__16 wp-block-mbm-responsive-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want to sponsor Connections Live 2024?<\/strong><br>We\u2019re always looking for new sponsors, so please <a href=\"mailto:clive@pditechnologies.com\">reach out to us<\/a> if you\u2019d like to explore any conference sponsorship opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, everyone!
