The American Gem Society (AGS) has announced names of its speakers for its 2014 Conclave. The Conclave will include Magic Johnson as opening speaker, amongst a line up of keynote and featured speakers. The agenda covers a wide variety of business leaders and innovators.

Three keynote speakers include: Peter Sheahan, an internationally recognized thought leader and author who will discuss ways to grow sales and revenues by leveraging business trends and new market opportunities. Erik Wahl, artist and author of Unthink: Rediscover Your Creative Genius, will give a one-of-a kind demonstration, illustrating how creativity and innovation can inspire the leader in all of us. Sales guru Bryan Dodge will present his most popular and requested educational program, “How to Have Your Best Year Ever.”

Dodge will do double-duty and give a featured speaker presentation “Building a Team that works without you.” Other featured notables include Adam Markel, CEO of Peak Potentials, teaching “Increasing Sales Through Innovation.” Retailers are increasingly mindful of the latest technology that can help them run their business and increase sales, and digital marketer, James Spellos, will deliver advice with, “Hot Technologies 2014: It’s Mobile, Social & Local.”

Ruth Batson, CEO of the American Gem Society and AGS Laboratories, said “We are excited about having him and our entire lineup of speakers. Because it is our 80th anniversary, we wanted this to be extraordinary in every sense of the word. With a little help from the talent we’ve picked, we feel confident it will be a success.”
