Welcome to the 7th GAA Annual Conference. After last year’s multinetwork event in Pattaya, Thailand, we are moving to the South American city of Cartagena, Colombia. This venue has been on the books since 2019, and we at GAA are very excited to finally get the chance to host all of you in Colombia. The theme for this year’s event is Colombia Rave. Our cocktail and dinner theme will be a high energy dance party with electronic music featuring a house DJ. Rave events are known for their liveliness and the sense of community and togetherness that often develops with attendees. A perfect combination for such a tight knit group like the members of the GAA. So, bring your bright colors, stamina, and willingness to immerse yourself into the community that is GAA.
Finding working relationships will be the focus of this event via several different channels: Starting with our much-acclaimed Teambuilding experiences, leading into a night of social activities at our opening cocktail reception.Secondly, a plenary session with a twist, followed by a well-known motivational speaker that has over 5000 podcasts about providing personal growth expertise to young professionals. It will be a must-listen and I will be providing you with more information about this guest speaker as we get closer to our date. There will be a Gala Dinner with sponsor recognition, as well as our Best Partner award for 2022, followed by our Colombia rave party that will keep everyone dancing well into the night.
This will be a one-of-a-kind event dedicated to GAA members. All of you have proven your support, it is now GAA’s turn to support your quest in finding new opportunities, securing global relationships, and growing your business.
