The Georgia Association Of Promotional Products Professionals (GAPPP) has announced its accredited GAPPP University 2020, a four-day virtual event, will be open to members of all 26 regional associations and PPPC at no cost to attend. GAPPP University sessions will be held July 21, 23, 28 and 30, running 11:30 am – 1:10 pm ET each day.

“Due to distancing measures required for in-person education, and our concern for our members well-being, GAPPP will be offering our University program Learning Labs via ‘bite-sized’ webinars over the lunch hour,” says Lake Tankersley, GAPPP president. “Because these will be broadcast via the web, GAPPP is inviting all other regional association members to participate, at no cost, to support our promotional community.”

Opening speakers for the event will include Cliff Quicksell, MAS+, president and CEO of Cliff Quicksell Associates and director of affiliate marketing and business development for distributor iPROMOTEu; Paul Bellantone, CAE, CEO and president of PPAI; and Kirby Hasseman, owner of Hasseman Marketing and Communications.
