XanGo sellers flock to SLC

Salt Lake Tribune:

"The 10,000 people flooding Salt Lake City this week for the annual XanGo convention are a testament to the phenomenal growth of the quirky Utah County supplements company with a funny name. The company's fourth annual convention began Wednesday but doesn't get into full swing until general sessions Friday and Saturday at the Salt Palace Convention Center. This year's event will include distributors from 18 foreign countries, as well as the United States, who will be celebrating that growth. One sour note unlikely to be discussed, however, is a lawsuit facing the company claiming that its principals engaged in self-dealing and used XanGo assets for personal use. Launched in 2002 with 14 employees and leased offices, the privately held, multilevel marketing company now occupies 300,000 square feet of office space in three buildings at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi for its more than 700 employees.
