Park Place Technologies North American Sales Kickoff 2025
Park Place Technologies held its 2025 North American Sales Kickoff in Cleveland from January 15th to 16th at the Cleveland Hilton Downtown. The sales team commemorated another successful year while outlining their mission plans for the upcoming year.
Park Place is also commemorating its twelfth consecutive year of recognition on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list, which ranks the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.
The General Sessions commenced on Wednesday afternoon in the Hilton’s Superior Ballroom. The afternoon sessions featured presentations by esteemed speakers, including John Stock, Michael Vedda, the Sales Leadership Team, Mike Nicholls, Chad Jones, Kevin Kenning, and Peter Spachner. Listed below are some photos captured during the sessions. You can view the entire photo gallery online at Day 1, General Sessions.
Prior to the commencement of the awards ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner were provided to all attendees. The culinary offerings were exceptional. I personally opted for the Salmon dish, which was of exceptional quality. While I have attended numerous events where the food is excessively salted, the dishes served at the Hilton were perfectly balanced. I was not alone in my positive experience with the culinary delights. The filet mignon appeared visually stunning and, while the Salmon was delectable, I found myself momentarily contemplating a second choice.
The Awards Ceremony commenced with Mark Tomei, the highest-performing salesperson in 2023, extending his congratulations and presenting the coveted award to the 2024 top salesperson, Richie Yung. Richie, who had traveled from Hong Kong to Cleveland to receive his esteemed accolade, emerged as the preeminent salesperson for the year 2024.

One effective method to commemorate achievements and accomplishments is to convene for an evening of camaraderie, featuring games, cocktails, and raffle prizes for bidding. All attendees relocated to the third floor of the Hope Ballroom to partake in a Casino-themed evening. Listed below is a slideshow of the evening festivities.
