ACN Invites Independent Business Owners Home for the Weekend

CONCORD, NC – September 1, 2011 – ACN Independent Business Owners have so many reasons to look forward to visiting Charlotte. Some of them are excited about recently joining ACN and creating their own home-based business. Others are celebrating ACN’s recent #20 ranking on Direct Selling News’ list of top 100 direct selling companies in the world. And others are excited for the same reason they are always excited when ACN holds an International Training Event in Charlotte: It’s a chance to visit “home.”

ACN provides individuals with a business opportunity to offer communications and essential services to residential and business customers. More than 16,000 of ACN’s Independent Business Owners (IBOs) from every corner of the globe will fill Time Warner Cable Arena September 9-11, 2011, for one of the company’s quarterly training events. Once there, IBOs will receive extensive training from the company’s Co-Founders, top-producing leaders and motivational speakers.

"This is truly a homecoming for our Independent Business Owners," ACN President and Co-Founder Greg Provenzano said. "Not only will they benefit from the phenomenal training and announcements we have planned, but they will get the chance to visit our backyard and see the outstanding impact they have had in our community. We want to continue to do great things for Charlotte and having events in our hometown helps us with that goal."

Beyond filling hotels and patronizing local businesses, ACN Independent Business Owners will leave a more lasting mark on the Charlotte community during the event weekend. At every International Training Event, ACN collects contributions from thousands of generous IBOs and employees for Ronald McDonald House Charities. The company then matches the donations dollar for dollar. At its last Charlotte Event in February 2011, more than $102,000 was raised. Through its work with ACN Global Reach Charities, the company has already donated more than $2 million to the Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte. The house, which opened in May 2011, is serving families of children being treated at Levine Children's Hospital and Presbyterian Healthcare's Hemby Children's Hospital.

The upcoming September event marks the fourth time in the last three years ACN has hosted one of its quarterly events in Charlotte. In addition to the training event and visiting Charlotte’s attractions, IBOs will have the chance to tour ACN’s World Headquarters in Concord. ACN established its headquarters in Concord, NC, in 2009.
