A Big "THANK YOU" to AFFI

The whirlwind that is AFFI-CON provides enormous opportunities for buyers and sellers alike and success requires as much post-convention processing as it does pre-convention preparation with none of this being possible without the exceptional work of the whole AFFI team.


CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL DIVERSITY!
