International Happenings: USANA’s AP Convention Kicks Off

USANA Health Sciences, Inc., truly is an international company, one that continues to expand into places such as Thailand, Belgium, and France.

For a while now I’ve wanted to provide a place where What’s Up, USANA? readers could read about many of the exciting things happening at USANA around the world.

So here is the first installment in what we’re hoping will be a monthly series highlighting happenings in many of USANA’s international markets.

Hello Sydney!

The timing couldn’t be better, what with the 2012 USANA Asia Pacific Convention in full swing in Sydney, Australia.

Thousands of USANA Associates and guests are attending the high-energy, information-packed three-day “Living the Dream” event at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre on Darling Harbour.

Hooray for Social Media

Our colleagues in Australia-New Zealand are doing a superb job keeping everyone up-to-date via social media (USANA Philippines is helping out as well). In fact, if you haven’t visited the USANA ANZ blog lately, now is an excellent time to check it out — and subscribe to e-mail updates so you don’t miss a thing.

Here’s a great blog post about the event’s social media presence. We absolutely love the social media cushions…

Even more, the USANA Australia-New Zealand Facebook Page is buzzing with comment after comment describing the excitement of this special event.

Now’s the perfect time to “like” the page to stay in the loop whether you are in Sydney for the convention or simply admiring from afar.

Finally, if you’re on Twitter, stay updated by following along with the #USANAAPC12 hash tag (here’s a cool backstage panorama shot Brian Paul posted to Twitter).

From all of us in Salt Lake City, we wish a successful convention for our colleagues and Associates in the Asia Pacific region. And to think, in only a little over 5 months we’ll be in full convention mode ourselves. Are you registered?

Additionally…

I wanted to share a couple other news and notes from around the USANA world.

• If you missed Dave Wentz’ blog post from earlier this year, you likely missed getting a sneak peek. USANA’s gorgeous new Thailand office. It’s not too late…
• Social media is definitely a worldwide phenomenon. In the next little while I’ll compile a comprehensive list of each market’s specific social media sites. For now, here are a few to check out: Canada Facebook (English); Canada Facebook (French); Mexico Facebook and Twitter; United Kingdom Facebook; Australia-New Zealand Facebook and Twitter; Philippines Facebook and Twitter.
