The Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) announces its second annual industry outlook conference, Predict. It will be held on 13 September 2012 at 10 on the Park at the Time Warner Center in New York City and will unveil key economic indicators for the exhibition industry and the impact it will have on organizations that produce exhibitions for the next three years.
The exclusive event will be limited to C-level executives. The one-day program is being developed by a Predict Program Task Force chaired by CEIR director Don Pazour, CEO of Access Intelligence LLC.

Executives will share future operating strategies including projected event growth, merger and acquisition strategies and planned launches. Attendance will be limited to 140 exhibition industry C-level executives, merger and acquisition firms, private equity firms, debt providers, investment firms and the financial press to allow for an intimate, high-level idea exchange about the future of the exhibition industry and implications for specific business sectors and their supporting exhibitions.
