So Much to Celebrate!

SUMMER IS HERE! It’s the time of year when we tend to spend more time with our families and friends as we gather together to mark important milestones like graduations and weddings.

Here at DSN we got a jump start on celebrating in April with our annual Global Celebration held in conjunction with Direct Selling University. Each year, our super-sized June issue serves as our chance to recap everything we have learned and shared at DSU and every company and individual recognized at the Global Celebration. Now is the time where we can celebrate everything the channel and its top companies have accomplished. And it’s the perfect moment to also take a glance at what the future might hold.

This issue is power packed with recaps of Direct Selling University, the DSN Global Celebration, insights, trends and analysis of the Global 100 List as well as snapshot portraits of all 53 companies on it. We share in-depth coverage of all the Bravo Award recipients as well as our Lifetime Achievement winner, Rudy Revak. There is a lot to celebrate in the channel right now—and many optimistic indicators and exciting opportunities on the horizon for the remainder of 2023 and beyond. This issue is full of reasons why!

We recently held a truly informative twoday deep dive event where top executives gathered to learn all about AI and ChatGPT and how these emerging technologies can impact your business. We also took an indepth look at exclusive generational research designed to help you target your messaging with more precision and examined affiliate models and how they continue to define and refine what direct selling is now and in the future. These were two game-changing days that were presented at no charge to employees of our Supporter companies. If you’d like to learn more about how your company can become a part of the DSN Supporter family and what perks that includes, please see page 58 of this issue.

All the best,
