Conclave 2020

We’re bringing a new type of session to Conclave 2020! Join us for Ignite—a showcase of AGS community leaders sharing non-industry topics, focused more on lifestyle, hobbies, and life hacks with lessons! It's the learning format that's fast, fun, and focused where each speaker gets 20 slides, auto-advancing every 15 seconds, for five minutes total. This session is the epitome of edutainment! Topics include:

How to Work with Your Spouse - Michael, CG, and Denise Richards, CGA, Underwood Jewelers
A talk about having no work/life balance, but enjoy every second of it (most of the time). Highlights will include how Denise is not allowed to call Michael "Babes Wolverine" at work. 

I Volunteered to do This?! - Susan Barnett, CGA, Tapper's Diamonds & Fine Jewelry
How to train for a triathlon and have fun doing it! 

Transforming Your Dream Into a Home - Cathy Calhoun, Calhoun Jewelers
How to transform an unusual space, renovate it with imaginative ideas, and turn it into a home. Spoiler alert: Cathy’s home (which was once a bank) has been on numerous TV shows, most recently, Netflix’s “Amazing on the Inside.”

Phillip’s Phamily Phun Hike in Hindsight - Phillip Bosen, CG, Bosen Associates
A lesson in what can come from making your kids hike for a week every summer from ages 8-18. 

Business Lessons Learned from Fishing - Adam Graham, CSA, Joshua J Fine Jewelry
