retailers participated in the weekend-long retreat focused on networking, peer sharing and solid resources to take back to your stores. The weekend's curriculum was specifically designed to grow leadership skills, bridge communication gaps, and develop a greater understanding of your business. Key speakers such as Kate Peterson, Sam Centellas, and Joe McCarragher led idea-building seminars that both challenged and inspired participants. One participant's store owner said, "My son really learned a lot and had a great experience. We have had several excellent discussions since his return. He even had his Uber driver stop at a bookstore so he could buy a John Maxwell book to read on the plane. He is fired up about the jewelry business." The Next Gen Experience takes place every two years and coincides with the RJO Succession Event on opposing years. The RJO Succession Event will take place in 2022. RJO Next Gen Participants and Sponsors pose for a photo before dinner.
