In a strong show of event industry support for Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum (ECEF), a stellar roster of leaders has been named facilitators of breakout sessions for the 18 November 2020 event. Breakout sessions are a new feature of ECEF, which has been completely re-invented as a real event in virtual space.
“The breakout facilitators are not giving presentations,” explained Sam Lippman, president, Lippman Connects, producer of ECEF. “They are leading like-minded association and independent executives in 30 minutes of frank discussion and intensive networking. Connecting leaders to leaders is what ECEF is all about.”
