All these world-class experts will be available throughout the conference to meet with you privately, one-on-one. That’s hours of high-value consulting FREE to you. Demand is high: be sure to schedule your consultations when you register.
Remember, just ONE great idea can multiply your future success, or prevent disaster.
FROM MLM to C2C
Today, the tiered networks of traditional MLM are just one distribution channel. You need to master — and integrate — every form of consumer-to-consumer marketing.
C2C is now the key to MLM success. This industry transformation massively increases your profitable opportunities. It also increases your risks.
At the New Direct Selling Conference you’ll get the unvarnished truth about what it takes to survive and thrive in this radically changed environment.
And you can consult every speaker privately, one-on-one.

What makes this different from other direct selling conferences?
Simple answer: the breadth and depth of experience we’ve assembled. No one in the industry has launched or advised as many companies as the Sheffield Group and its network of experts. You know you’ll be learning from the top players in the industry.
Can I consult the speakers in confidence?
All attendees will have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one consultations with our industry experts. We’re highly sensitive to your need for confidentiality as a business leader.

Where will the conference be held?
The MLM Startup Conference will be held in Las Vegas. Only registered guests are given the address after they’ve registered, because we don’t allow vendors, distributors and other solicitors to attend the event. This enables us to maintain the conference’s high standards. However, if for some reason you cannot attend after registering, we will refund 100 percent of your attendance cost.
What is the price of attendance?
The price to attend is $299 for the first attendee per company, and $149 for each additional attendee from the same company. Payment is made after you complete your registration. We accept all major credit cards. Reservations can be made below.
