NSCA Leadership Conference

  • Registration is now open for the 2011 NSCA Business & Leadership Conference, the only conference focused on business strategies and professional development for commercial electronic systems executives and managers. The event will be held February 17-19, 2011, at the Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort & Spa in San Diego, CA.
  • Systems integrators continue to face challenges surrounding the volatile economy, including increasing labor costs, additional burdens on job sites, new regulations and policies, among others. Economists have officially announced the recovery, but business still tells us otherwise. The 2011 Business & Leadership Conference will provide attendees with proven strategies to recover from the recovery and tactics to return to a more profitable, productive business even in an unstable environment.
  • “Any NSCA member who runs a company and wants to improve the way they do business, in every aspect, should attend this conference,” said Lorne Bjorgan, president of Design Electronics. “The information I collected over the three days easily makes it the best value, and use of my limited time, for the year.”

"The 2011 event will provide ample opportunities to discuss real-time solutions to all of the concerns related to these challenges.
