European Convention 2011

Gmunden – 7-8 October, 2011 – Over 600 Young Living members from over 10 countries recently gathered together in the picturesque town of Gmunden in Austria: for Young Living’s much-anticipated 2011 European Convention.

“Vitality: Live for Today,” was the theme for inspiring and fascinating presentations from essential oil experts on a variety of topics that motivated attendees to live with greater wellness, purpose, and abundance. Topics included European product launches, Wellness and Vitality, Balsam Fir Harvest, The Gift of Knowledge, and “Moving Mountains”.

John Doughty, Young Living Europe’s new General Manager opened proceedings enthusiastically. John conveyed his excitement at joining Young Living and explained how Young Living has so much to offer in so many different ways. Doug Nelson continued the high energy start, talking about Vitality. An impressive leadership development talk was offered by Doug Cloward. Doug Corrigan gave a very detailed and informative presentation on Young Living products including those which were launched there and then at convention in German. Fred Donegan also described simple ways in which he is able to put spreading the YL message in to practice. Kurt Schnaubelt gave a wonderfully in depth explanatory talk about plants and essential oils. Rudolf Pieknik also impressed the crowd of attentive oil enthusiasts with in depth product and wellness education. The final keynote speaker was Reinhold Messner who gave a stirring motivational speech on how he has continually overcome adverse situations with the determination to keep going and reach targets.

The convention’s annual Product Expo also allowed distributors to be the first to sample and purchase Young Living Europes’s newest products including Sacred Frankincense, Fennel, Bergamot, Sulfurzyme and the new, convenient Roller Fitments. Distributors were eager to experience each new product and take them home to share with others.

Young Living distributors have come to regard attending these annual conventions as more than a company tradition but also as a necessity for dedicated distributors seeking greater product education and business-building training.

Anticipation is already building for Young Living’s International Grand Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, on June 26–30, 2012, which will draw attendees from Young Living’s vast network of distributors across the globe.
