BTA Grand Slam start time is 3PM at the Philadelphia Marriot Downtown on Wednesday the 13th of September and completes about 4PM on the 14th. During the evening of the 14th attendees can also travel to Citizens Bank Park at 7PM to see the Phillies host the Miami Marlins and Giancarlo Stanton's MLB League Leading forty-six home runs.
Brent Gleeson, Navy SEAL Combat Veteran will deliver the keynote address. Not sure if I've ever heard Brent speak before, I thought I might have however I may have not, thus I thought I it would be appropriate to take a paragraph from his LinkedIn page and post it here for everyone.

Over the years, I've enjoyed how these events are formatted. If you've never attended one a BTA event, you'll be quite satisfied with how the event is laid out. BTA starts with one large conference room, then to the middle of the room are tables and chairs. This is were all of the attendees can sit and view the Keynote Address and the Educational Sessions. In the same room, and along the outside walls are tables that house the BTA sponsors. It's pretty cool because everything takes place in that one room. In addition at the end of every Educational Session there's about a 45 minute break so that you can network and or visit those BTA sponsors.
Educational Sessions

You can never stop learning right? Come to think of it why would you ever want to stop learning? These BTA events allows us to connect and collaborate with our peers. In addition, we get to hear different strategies from different vendors that may help us increase out profits, sales and or efficiencies. I've always been a fan of these events, and if you can wrangle two days out of your schedule, you'll be glad you did.
