Professional speaker and author, Jones Loflin presented "Growing Better Results," a keynote address which outlined practical steps to ensure that the  information learned at the conference is put into practice when the conference concludes. Asking the question, "How will you put the information you learned over these two days to work for you and your organization when there's already too much to do?" Loflin presented an insightful analogy about growing award-winning apples. The analogy encouraged participants to engage in four types of activities every day – Grow, Graft, Prune and Harvest.
