The inaugural LeTip National Convention is in the books! From April 18th to April 20th, 2024, LeTip members from across the nation came together for an unforgettable experience filled with networking, learning, and celebration.

The excitement began on the first night with a well-attended networking soiree, where connections were forged and virtual acquaintances became real-life friends. It was a heartwarming moment as members who had previously only interacted online finally had the chance to meet face-to-face.

Friday was a jam-packed day of activities, featuring show boaters, keynote speakers, board training, breakout room sessions, and the highly anticipated LeTip Annual Awards. Attendees were treated to inspiring presentations, valuable workshops, and opportunities to connect with industry experts and fellow members.

As the convention entered its final day, Saturday, attendees enjoyed a day of networking poolside, at our cabana party. Against the backdrop of sunshine and laughter, new friendships were formed and existing bonds were strengthened, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Convention team, whose dedication and hard work made this event possible. Special thanks also go to our show boaters, swag suppliers, facilitators, and speakers who generously shared their time, talent, and expertise to make the convention a resounding success.
