Association and Independent Event Producers
Sharing Successful Strategies
May 29, 2013 | JW Marriott | Washington, DC
An Event like No Other Every year 200 leaders of the exhibition and convention industry gather for the
Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum (ECEF) — the world’s only event exclusively for independent and
association executives. ECEF is invitation only, designed to explore new ways to increase revenue and keep
conventions and exhibitions relevant.
Peer Learning and Networking
ECEF attracts senior executives who trust the advice of peers with
the same level of accountability. ECEF packs nine hours of C-level
networking and attendee-speaker exchange into one event.
Attendees also participate in audience polling and take home new,
exclusive research and white papers. One hundred percent of past
attendees recommend ECEF as a must-attend event.
Unbiased, Customized Content
Event producer Sam Lippman carefully chooses fresh speakers
who deliver presentations tailored for a C-Level audience. Sam
guarantees that ECEF’s speakers represent unbiased experts in
their fi elds.
