From my perspective these annual events illustrate that our core philosophy of betterment remains as our influence grows. I saw many who have been with us since early in our existence and yet I met so many from different areas of the world who have recently joined Youngevity and add to the enthusiasm associated with this company."

Dave Briskie, President and CFO of Youngevity, said, "This year's themes of Celebrate, Learn, and Connect resonated throughout the entire week. What was most encouraging to me was not only the fact that this year's attendance was double that of last years but that distributors from 10 different countries were in attendance, and this is virtually weeks since our Asian expansion has begun. Their response to coming on board with Youngevity was very evident throughout the week's activities and I look forward to more interacting with all of our US based and international distributors at future events."
