Premiere Global, like many companies, plans an annual January event to celebrate our success from the previous year, honor our sales leaders, and gear up for the coming year.  This important event allows our Executive Team to communicate and reinforce our strategy, paving the way to accelerate our growth in providing on demand communication services.

Until last month, plans for 2009 were no different.  Actually, we had bigger aspirations for next year.  Instead of planning three independent events as in the past (North America, Europe, and Asia), we had planned a single, global sales kickoff in Orlando, Florida.  Based on our confidence in our virtual meeting tools, however, we are changing to a 100% Virtual Global Kickoff Event.
