Leading Edge Conference Wrap Up

Jae Roger Pamilacan
From May 1st to 3rd, our team eagerly participated in the highly anticipated Leading Edge Conference for 2024. Upon arrival on Wednesday, we enjoyed a free day to register for the conference, settle into our rooms, and unwind with a well-deserved glass of wine.

The evening's welcome dinner proved to be a fantastic icebreaker, allowing everyone to mingle with fellow members and suppliers in a relaxed atmosphere.

The following day marked the main event. The conference commenced with a warm welcome to all attendees, followed by a motivational presentation by Ironman Guy Leech. His heartfelt story about the significance of a defibrillator, inspired by the passing of his best friend, left a lasting impact on the audience.

Following Guy Leech's engaging discussion, the tradeshow opened its doors. Our team navigated through the various stands, gaining valuable insights into how each could benefit our business, all while snagging some impressive merch along the way.

After a bustling day at the tradeshow, we took a leisurely stroll around the resort's Golf Course, providing the perfect opportunity to unwind before the grand awards night.

Returning to our rooms to dress for the occasion, anticipation filled the air as the coveted Member of the Year award hung in the balance.

As the ballroom buzzed with excitement, the evening kicked off with the Appliances category, culminating in Electrolux being crowned Supplier of the Year. Our hearts soared with joy as our name flashed on the screen, winning the prestigious title of Appliance Members of the Year.

The night unfolded into a spirited celebration, complete with flowing drinks and lively dancing.

The conference drew to a close the following day, offering farewells to fellow members and suppliers. Before bidding adieu, we engaged in one-on-one speed dating sessions with suppliers, delving deeper into how they could support our endeavors.

To cap off an unforgettable few days, Andrew, Beko, and the team hit the driving range, enjoying some leisurely golfing. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Leading Edge Group for hosting us and, of course, for presenting us with our well-deserved trophy.
