“I attended Ralph Elliott’s marketing program 13 years ago in Australia and built a multi-million-dollar conference organization. I am back to Key West in 2007 for another session. Ralph is the seminar organizer’s guru, the world’s best! I am taking away 192 short-term, immediately implementable ideas.”

4. Gain From Networking and Bringing Ralph On-Site
"The most valuable aspect of the program was hearing other marketers' challenges and how they have faced and overcome them. Lots of great ideas shared. "

" The seminar here at CICA was great. I got many ideas during the session (51 items on my "think about/to do list). Leta (who is usually a tough audience member) was the first to send me an e-mail thanking me for arranging the session. She talked about the fact that even though she couldn't afford the 1 1/2 days away from her desk, once she got back there she felt reenergized. She was really glad for the opportunity to refocus her attention, with us as a group, on the aspect of our business that is nearest and dearest to her. The other Principals have also commented on how many good ideas they got from the session -- they're all pumped with respect to marketing. "
-Frank Colantonio, Director of Continuing Education
