National Spotlight Tour Articles

New York City, we were so glad you stopped by! The IBOAI was thrilled to be with you for National Spotlight Business Expo, Thursday, September 3, through Saturday, September 5. With almost 12,000 of you crowding the Jacob Javits Center, we felt part of the excitement of America’s busiest city.

You filled the Expo hall, greeting us at the IBOAI booth with questions and comments. Thank you for letting us tell you all about your primary advocacy organization. You buzzed about the breakout sessions, happy to see the return of former IBOAI Chairman Bill Hawkins, who talked about “The Next 50 Years” – all seven sessions were packed. Some of you even attended all three days of National Spotlight, you found it so valuable.

Attending National Spotlight is one of the highlights of the year for us. Thanks for filling the hall!
