Expanding on the material presented in the Beyond Cost Plus at the 2014 GLFE this session will feature entirely new content on pricing events.
Rick Rivers of Florist Bootcamp will also be presenting. His session (10:00 AM, Saturday June 7) is sponsored by Marcin Waszkiewicz and will focus on building corporate sales. I saw Rick present this material in March and it is really good. The room was packed and everyone was taking copious notes.
There are many different accreditations, certifications and designations a florist can receive and use after their name. A new guide explains all of them.

AIFD or the American Institute of Floral Designers is an amazing organization that has worked diligently to advance the art of professional floral design through education, service and leadership for almost 50 years.
