“Is anyone else sad that BRMConnect is over?” – Kayla Barnes
“Must be a good conference if my resting heart rate is faster than normal!” – Peter Lijnse
These are just some of the things people are saying about BRMConnect 2015! It was a conference like no other. Each aspect was unique and unforgettable, from the venue itself, to the presenters, to the overall experience. As the conference sadly came to an end, many members were already asking, “When is BRMConnect 2016?”
The conference was the first of its kind—and by that I mean it was the world’s first ever BRM conference! BRMConnect aimed to bring BRMs together from all over the country under a common purpose: to continue the advancement and involvement of BRMs in their organizations and communities. All across the world, BRMs are revolutionizing the way business is done, and research indicates that the more experience a member gains, the more effective they will be when operating a business. The team building activities and workshops in particular allowed for hands-on learning, where members were able to work together and exchange ideas. Therefore, members didn’t just have a fun experience spending time with people who understood where they were coming from—they also gained valuable knowledge and insight to take home to their organizations.
Aaron Barnes, CEO of BRM Institute, stated, “We set out with a goal: to create a special event where the professional attendees would leave saying this was the best networking and educational event they have ever attended. Judging from the survey results, we accomplished our goal!”
Here are just some of the exciting things members were saying about #BRMConnect:
As you can see, the passion and excitement that BRMs brought to this event was insurmountable and did not go unnoticed. The positive feedback we’ve received so far makes it clear that BRMConnect is here to stay!
What is in store for BRMConnect 2016, you ask? Aaron Barnes, CEO, has the answer. “We have received global interest for [future] BRM conferences, so we’re working on plans to bring a BRM conference to many of the major areas around the globe for 2016.” Just when you thought being a BRM couldn’t get any better…it just did!
