MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - The NAPO Annual Conference & Organizing Expo will be held April 25-29 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Registration opens on April 25 and the first day of the conference starts April 26. The annual event provides an opportunity for organizing and productivity professionals to immerse themselves in NAPO education and culture. 

The association recently announced author and trainor Jones Loflin as the keynote speaker with the topic "Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest: How to blossom Even in Times of Change."

According to the association, Loflin will "share such a model with us, and it is built on four simple words: Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest. In this engaging and powerful presentation built on timeless principles used by a gardener, Jones will help you identify what changes are needed, where to take productive action, and how to achieve better results. It’s time to get “growing” and harvest something better for you and your business."
