A full-day workshop featuring a national retail training expert is coming to Sioux Falls later this month.

The SD Retailers Business Summit on Sept. 25 at the Sioux Falls Convention Center will feature renowned expert Bob Negen of WhizBang! Retail Training.

Kevin Nyberg, board president of the South Dakota Retails Association and owner of Nyberg’s Ace and Dakota Workwear, encourages other business owners, leaders and team members to attend.

“We want to see South Dakota businesses succeed,” Nyberg said. “I’ve personally experienced the benefits of WhizBang! Retail Training and can’t wait to see the impact Bob Negen leaves on our business community.”

Attendees may register or learn more online at sdra.org/bizsummit.

The event, sponsored by Nyberg’s Ace, First Premier Bank and Lewis Drug, will help attendees build a more productive, profitable and enjoyable business.

“Bob Negen is a nationally recognized expert in retail training with decades of entrepreneurial experience himself who will bring an energetic, impactful program to Sioux Falls,” said Nathan Sanderson, executive director of the South Dakota Retailers Association.

“He has tailored his presentation to bring a reenergized leadership approach to businesses and business-minded people of all types, not just retailers, so everyone will walk away with a ton of value.”

“Response has been great so far, especially from the Sioux Falls community! We have people registering from all over the state, with many businesses bringing entire teams of people,” Sanderson said.

“We think the SD Retailers Business Summit is going to do a lot for South Dakota’s business community, so we’d love to max out our quickly filling limit of 400 registrations.”
