kerrie-defelice-43120

As yet another summer comes to a close we are gearing up for our favourite (and busiest) seasons here at FrontRunner Professional. Over the next couple of months, our team will be travelling around North America to attend some very exciting funeral industry trade shows and national events. We will be kicking things off at the 2017 New York State Funeral Directors Association Annual Convention in beautiful Saratoga Springs. There will be 11 CEU’s up for grabs during breakout sessions, where attendees will learn about key trends impacting today’s industry. It doesn’t stop there, either. The FrontRunner team will then spread out to various locations North and South of the border, making for an extremely busy month. If you are planning on attending one of the following events, we would love to hear from you. If not, we hope to see you somewhere along the road!

NYSFDA, Saratoga Springs, New York (Aug. 20 – 23)

Saratoga Springs is a beautiful location in upstate New York known for being surrounded by awesome scenery, having a great downtown and, of course, world-class horse racing.

Saratoga Springs is also known for having top-notch restaurants to keep you full after a long day on the trade show floor. If you are looking to do more than just explore the many funeral businesses that will be in attendance, the highlight of the show will be amazing breakout sessions.

Not only will it be a good time, but there is lots of opportunity to build a better future for your funeral home. Come see us in booth 22-23!
