Top Echelon Network Conferences and Conventions 

At Top Echelon Network, we emphasize quality relationships between our Members, and we encourage them to meet on a face-to-face basis as much as possible. In fact, we provide two ways for them to do exactly that with our annual National Convention and Fall Conference. When our Members attend these events, they have the opportunity to not only gain knowledge, but also to network with one another in a number of different ways:

  • Round-table discussions based on industry
  • Round-table discussions based on specific recruiting topics
  • Concurrent sessions conducted by Network Members
  • Our popular "Icebreaker Reception" social gathering
  • Gala events and parties
At the National Convention, we also honor our Top Producers from the previous year with awards in different categories. To see our award winners from 2007, click here.

2008 Fall Conference recap

The 2008 Top Echelon Network Fall Conference was held at the Sheraton Gateway Suits in Chicago on Friday, October 3 and Saturday, October 4. Those in attendance had the opportunity to take advantage of excellent training sessions by Jon Bartos of Jonathan Scott International. Bartos infused his sessions with enthusiasm and energy, focusing not only on specific recruiting techniques, but also addressing big-picture issues designed to help attendees achieve all of their goals, both personal and professional. In addition, many recruiters networked extensively in the city’s Blues District, taking a bus downtown and enjoying Chicago’s nightlife and music scene.

Up next is the 2009 National Convention. Past convention locations have included Charlotte, N.C.; Nashville, Tenn., and Dallas, Texas. Our schedule of upcoming events is as follows:
