June 25, 2009 — No, they're not fired.
Instead, the nearly 25,000 people expected this weekend at two major Charlotte venues will listen to Donald Trump as part of an international training event for a Concord telecommunications company.
ACN Communications uses direct sales marketing to promote its company, which recently consolidated U.S. operations in Concord and will celebrate the grand opening of its new headquarters today. The 140,000-square-foot facility employs nearly 500 people.
In addition, the ACN International Training Event will be held Friday through Sunday at Time Warner Cable Arena and Bojangles' Coliseum. ACN independent representatives from across North America, as well as Asia and Europe, will learn about new product announcements, training and sales techniques, new training tools and leadership skills from the company's co-founders and top sales leaders.
Trump has endorsed ACN since 2006, the company said, and ACN was featured in March on his reality show, "The Celebrity Apprentice 2." No word on whether Trump's Charlotte visit also is a prelude to future seasons of the show being set in The Queen City.
