Market America Worldwide|SHOP.COM’s international convention (ICON) hosted 5,000 entrepreneurs from nine countries. The five-day event featured presentations from celebrity speakers and industry experts, product updates and networking opportunities.
Market America Co-Founder and CEO Loren Ridinger and President and COO Marc Ashley opened the convention with the debut of Ridinger’s debut book, which follows her process of rediscovering herself after losing her greatest love.
The company also held a tribute to its late founder JR Ridinger, and unveiled an honorary statue that will reside outside the company’s worldwide headquarters. The monument was sculpted by world-renowned artist Omri Amrany and will be added to the JR Ridinger Museum as a part of his legacy.
“The 2024 ICON was a fantastic platform for us to introduce new products and celebrate our tremendous leaders and UnFranchise Owners from across the world,” Ashley said. “Attendees leave this conference not only energized and excited about their personal business and Market America, but also refocused and equipped with strategies, products and tools to dramatically improve their businesses.”
