Breaking the Code: ECEF 2022 to Feature Leaders Who Succeeded During the Crisis

3/28/2022
ARLINGTON, VA - With the exhibition and convention business in recovery mode, executives are mindful of the need to be better prepared for an extended crisis. Preparedness and optimism dominate the program for the Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum (ECEF), coming to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C. on June 1.

In announcing the program, Sam Lippman, President, Lippman Connects, said, “It’s not too early to take account of the most practical success strategies.” Because the ECEF emphasis is on top-to-top networking, Lippman stressed that each session will be shorter, highly focused, and more interactive. “This is C-level content that will get executives talking and sharing,” Lippman added.

The program features insights from 13 exhibition and convention industry notables:
