The stage is set for Spring DSU 2025, and this year’s lineup promises insights, inspiration and innovation like never before. Among the powerhouse speakers taking the spotlight are Orville Thompson, co-CEO of Scentsy, and Andrew Schmidt, representing Amway, the largest company in direct selling.
It’s been a few years since Orville Thompson last graced the DSU stage. During that time, he and his wife embarked on a mission in the UK, stepping away from the day-to-day operations of Scentsy. Now, Orville is back with fresh perspectives for modern direct selling companies.
Known for his candid, forward-thinking approach, Orville will share insights into the evolving marketplace, Scentsy’s plans for the future and what’s on the horizon for the channel as a whole. For longtime DSU attendees, his return is highly anticipated, offering the kind of wisdom and inspiration that has made him a DSU favorite.
Andrew Schmidt, Amway's Region President for West Markets will also hit the DSU mainstage. As a leader from the world’s largest direct selling company, Andrew offers a global perspective shaped by a career spanning diverse regions.
His journey with Amway began in Japan, just after the Tohoku earthquake, where he witnessed the company’s values in action—a moment that defined his leadership approach, focused on service, innovation and supporting the company’s Independent Business Owners. Andrew’s insights into Amway’s strategies and his leadership approach promise to deliver actionable takeaways and valuable lessons you don’t want to miss.
