PORTLAND, OR  (PRWEB.com, Digital Journal)

The Gift Card Network Education Committee announces the Second Gift Card Network Regional Summit, hosted by Givex and Powerhouse Brands Consulting, in Toronto, CAN on November 5th, 2013. Thank you to our addition sponsors: Arjowiggins, Buyatab, Gift Fly and Travel Tags.

GCN members will be engaging in gift card education and networking, ending with a collaborative workshop that will generate a dynamic gift card strategic plan for a merchant case study. Utilizing the many perspectives of the vendors, distributors, and merchants planned to be in attendance, the group's resulting presentations will be crafted into a content piece that all GCN members can find inspiration from.
