Thirty-One Gifts Convention So Successful, They’re Doubling Up
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Thirty-One Gifts’ recent convention in Columbus proved so successful the company will do it again next year – and double up in the process.
Thirty-One Gifts spokeswoman Sara Westtold me the growing direct-sales company will host a three-day conference for associates from the eastern U.S. the week of July 26 next year, and will relocate its conference for Canadian consultants from Niagara Falls, Ontario, to Columbus as well.
“We’ll have a three-day conference, then another three-day conference,” she said. “… It will be easier to manage if we break it out into two identical conferences.”
According to Experience Columbus, the 12,769 attendees for Thirty-One Gifts’ July 22-25 event this year occupied about 15,000 room nights at 36 area hotels. The conference had an estimated $17.5 million economic impact on the hotels, restaurants and other businesses.
The Niagara Falls conference attracted 800 associates from July 16-18. Thirty-One Gifts just started in Canada in September 2012, so West said the company expects the number attending the 2015 conference to grow.
The company announced a year ago it would return to Columbus after two years in Atlanta, where 16,600 attended in 2013. The company counts about 110,000 sales associates in all.
West said the company has scheduled another conference in Denver

Here’s an update on the conference schedule for Thirty-One Gifts.
The Columbus-based – and rapidly growing – company will hold three national meetings this year: Denver July 9-12, Columbus July 22-25 and Ontario, Canada July 18-20.
The Columbus meeting is expected to attract about 14,000 attendees, making it the largest of the three.
“We’ve also committed to hosting our 2015 conference in Columbus, and we’re looking forward to painting the town pink,” said CEO Cindy Monroe.
The company will hold a Canadian conference in 2015 as well and “we’ll most likely hold a third … we have 120,000 consultants and it’s more convenient to hold two regional conferences (in the United States),” said spokeswoman Sara West.
The company has not yet finalized plans for 2016 and beyond, despite an earlier report that Thirty-One Gifts would be holding one of its national conferences here in Columbus through 2019.
