2024 ADCC Annual Retreat Highlights
ADCC dance competition owners and staff members, special guests and speakers came together for the 2024 ADCC Annual Retreat, September 23-25 at the Opal Grand Oceanfront Resort & Spa in Delray Beach, Florida.
Themed FLOCK FORWARD!, the ADCC’s 2024 gathering brought members together for a in Delray Beach, Florida, for professional development and fun. Panels, speakers and peer breakouts offered practical solutions, insights, and food for thought, all designed to help your company build on the collective power of the ADCC. Attendees learned from peers in breakout sessions, explored the latest member innovations in production, merchandising, and safeguarding a business from risk. They also got to know Business Partners and Trade Show Exhibitors who could help them save money, streamline the business, or elevate a company’s customer service experience to the next level.
In addition to business sessions, there were ample social opportunities as well: a team-building Survey Says trivia contest on Monday, an opening night party at THRōW Social® Delray Beach, open to all on Monday evening, a special Downtown Delray Bar Crawl on Tuesday evening, and a fun beach-themed party, Seaside Shenanigans, to cap off the conference.
We were excited to see you at the recent Annual Retreat — recently renamed to reflect the relaxing, sociable, think-tank spirit of this redesigned signature ADCC event.
