“The 2008 SIOR Fall World Conference was the first I’ve attended and sold me on the importance of attending SIOR conferences! The networking, educational sessions and collaboration amongst SIORs were outstanding. The conference was another way of proving the SIOR designation and organization is invaluable to our success.”
