ECEF offers new scholarships

USA - Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum (ECEF) is offering two scholarships to attend ECEF, awarded by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).

Each scholarship covers ECEF registration, round-trip airfare within the continental US, and a two-night hotel stay.

The scholarships are open to any graduate of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) Future Leaders Institute who is also employed by an exhibition or convention producer. Qualified applicants must submit a 250-word essay explaining what knowledge and professional development they will gain by participating in ECEF, for which EW is an official media partner.

“As a graduate of the inaugural Future Leaders Institute class and chair of IAEE, I am a strong advocate for the programme and its value to rising stars in our industry,” said the VP of sales for LVCVA, Chris Meyer. “The LVCVA is proud to sponsor these scholarships and advance the future of the exhibition industry.”

The LVCVA is ECEF’s Platinum Sponsor.

ECEF takes place on 1 June 2011 at the JW Marriott in Washington DC.
