DALLAS, 29 July 2014 – Unlike any other event for C-Level executives, the fourth annual Predict industry outlook conference focuses on the performance of the exhibitions and events industry and a look at what is forecasted for the next several years. Scheduled for 11 September 2014 at the Intercontinental Hotel Chicago, this year CEIR Predict takes on a new energizing format, with Ron Insana, host of a nationally-syndicated daily radio show and senior analyst and commentator for CNBC, hosting and facilitating conversations throughout the day. The program is designed for executive-level influencers in the industry featuring a highly-intensive and interactive program.
A stellar panel of accomplished experts and thought leaders will ensure the most timely and relevant perspectives. So far, 19 industry heavy-hitters have been added to the roster for this one-day event.
“The years of experience and areas of expertise held by this year’s speakers is phenomenal,” says CEIR President and CEO Brian Casey, CEM. “By the end of Predict, attendees will have a very well-rounded view of economic, legislative, marketing and overall industry trends that can only strengthen their strategic planning sessions.”
