BLIS HISTORY IN NUMBERS

So, this is my third year of BLIS. And the experience is absolutely consistent.
You know, you have a massive variety of speakers who are giving you ideas, handling objectives, inspiring motivational stories. There's a little something for everybody here.
Even after 32 years in the business, it's still great to hear something new, learn something new, connect with people who you have a genuine family connection with. It makes you feel so good.
Our job is not the easiest job on the planet, but when you're surrounded by people that lift you up, it becomes easier.
So that's the reason I come to BLIS every year, year in, year out.

Hey, it's Joe Jordan here just talking to you from BLIS 2022 in Beirut, Lebanon. This has been an absolutely spectacular meeting. I had people from all over the Middle East and some people out in Asia, hungry and thirsty for knowledge and to find stuff out. The speakers were just absolutely impeccable, and it's a must Go. I can't believe the amount of time, effort that was put into this from Naji to put this thing together. I spoke about this idea of prospering in a post COVID world. I gave a context beyond just the numbers about how the world has changed and how I think it works towards our advantage. So, if you're contemplating thinking about going to BLIS 2023, if I were you, I'd make plans now.
