For what it costs to attend this seminar, it could be the most valuable investment you’ll ever make if you are planning on or have already launched a direct sales company. The legal knowledge and regulatory knowledge alone is worth a lot.

Every second was worth the time! I’ve learned more in 2 days that I’ve learned the last 18 months as a president of an MLM. Thank you!!

The 15 minute one-on-one sessions were invaluable. I was able to get my specific questions answered by the industry experts with no sales pressure.

I came to this conference two years later than I should have. Had I come two years earlier, I would have saved over $100,000 AND two years.

This is the third DS Edge Conference that I have attended. I continue to learn more each time.
