Even when it doesn't feel like it, you have valuable ideas and opinions to contribute. Your expertise has been earned during early morning flights and late-night brainstorming sessions, while celebrating big wins and coping with tough losses, and in both your professional and personal endeavors. (that's right – even if you're “new” to your role, company, or exhibitions/events overall, your perspective is unique and worth sharing!)

This annual event shared big topics/ideas that are “top of mind” for you and our industry. This program was eligible for two clock hours towards CEM recertification.
