Get ready for the most exciting annual event for our organization – the New Horizons 2004 International Conference – in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 19-21, 2004.

This is the one time of the year that New Horizons Owners, center management, and key employees come together from throughout the entire New Horizons global community – Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Caribbean, Canada, and the United States. This year’s event will be packed with informative and intriguing content and activities to bring your center performance and profitability to new heights.

As New Horizons remains the leader in the industry, our goal is to continue our Focus on Growth. One of our key initiatives in 2004 is to evolve our sales strategy to a more consultative approach with more comprehensive solutions. We are making these changes to better align with our customers’ needs and the changing needs of the market. With this evolution, we are all experiencing incredible change as we adapt to this new approach. As our organization makes this transition, education and the sharing of best practices are essential elements for our success.

At the 2004 International Conference you will be able to network with your peers and hear from many of those who are finding success with the new sales methodology. This event will be a critical component to helping your center get back on track with revenue goals and to advance to more profitable times. You will be able to leverage this event to Focus on Growth at your center and determine ways to put these strategies into action.

As an organization, we are Focusing on Growth in targeted areas and are working to increase our top line sales in all segments – consumer, small to medium business, government, and enterprise. We are also executing to close the gap between what we offer our customers and what they need. In our consumer business, we are expanding our reach further into the IT industry and uncovering new opportunities in areas beyond traditional IT training. With small-to-medium businesses, we are growing and developing our sales force to more thoroughly meet the needs of this core market segment. In the enterprise space, we are evolving our sales approach to penetrate a greater share of this market and provide tailored and comprehensive solutions.

For New Horizons, our Focus on Growth will be the element for our success as we evolve and change throughout the year, and at this year’s 2004 International Conference you can discover the tools, resources, and knowledge to make this happen.
