(OAKLAND, CA, CHINO HILLS, CA, June 24, 2019) - The Association of Fitness Studios (AFS) and fitness sales, author, and entrepreneurial guru Bedros Keuilian today proudly announced a landmark promotional agreement to expand and enhance the activities of SUCCEED! - AFS’ annual Business Convention & Expo for current and aspiring studio and gym owners.
Among his many business leadership accomplishments, Keuilian is the founder and brains behind the annual Fitness Business Summit (FBS) where he has been the driving force with an 18-year track record of providing inspirational and tangible education on sales, marketing, retention, and profitability to thousands of gym owners.
“I’ve taken a serious interest in other projects beyond FBS,” said Keuilian,” and I’ve been looking for a home for my audience to continue to access top level fitness education, networking, and experiences. AFS, with SUCCEED! under Josh’s leadership, is a perfect match.”
As part of the agreement, Keuilian will be the keynote presenter at SUCCEED! 2020 as well as moderating a “Hot Seat” session on Sunday - one of the fixtures of the highly successful FBS structure. He’ll also be taking an active role in promoting the event to his audience.
We’re always looking to grow the size, quality, and impact of SUCCEED!” said Leve. “When we connected with Bedros, it was obvious that the synergy was too great to ignore. We greatly appreciate his confidence in our ability to deliver top level education to his followers and we couldn’t be more excited to work with him and his team.”
The AFS/Bedros Keuilian relationship is a strategic initiative that will instantly grow participation in SUCCEED! and create a dynamic scenario for all stakeholders. In its final year (2018) FBS generated nearly 1,000 attendees and AFS is ready to welcome as many as possible to SUCCEED! The additional participation will create a more dynamic environment, enhance networking, and be a stimulus to the SUCCEED! Expo.
“FBS attendees still get Bedros plus the incredible SUCCEED! education and experience,” said Leve “Networking is enhanced with so many additional qualified attendees, and exhibitors will have an expanded stream of potential customers.”
Another attractive component is SUCCEED!’s incredible venue, Hotel Irvine, located only five minutes from Orange County (John Wayne) airport just off I-405 in Irvine, CA.
