Speakers
ConnexFM's Mid-Year Conference features dynamic leaders and influencers. This year, event attendees will hear from luminaries who continue to drive significant and impactful innovation in the industry and leadership:
- Stephanie Stuckey, CEO, Stuckey's: two and a half years ago, Ms. Stuckey set aside a career as a lawyer and former state legislator to buy her family's old company back, which, at that time, was operating at a deficit and had only thirteen original free-standing stores in ten states. Under her leadership, within six months, Stuckey's was restored to profitability! Join this keynote presentation to hear about the importance of branding (including personal branding!), taking risks and being persistent about making a comeback.
- Garrick Brown, Retail Economist and Economic Forecaster: with an uncertain economy having to address inflation, a recession and a slew of other economic indicators, there are multiple potential scenarios that could play out in 2023. Regularly quoted on retail matters in the Wall Street Journal, the CBS Evening News, NBC News, CNBC and NPR (among others), Mr. Brown will break down the latest data and the potential outcomes that are likely to play out from the worst- and best-case scenarios, what will drive them, and how to respond.
- Justin Forsett, NFL Pro Bowler, Entrepreneur: considered as being 'undersized and overmatched' on a variety of fronts, Mr. Forsett is a product of persistence, going from poverty to peak performance through hard work, grit, hope and perseverance. Attendees will learn tangible steps and actions to excel in the midst of adversity as well as gain a clear understanding of how to persevere and thrive in 2023 and beyond.
"The challenges facing the multi-site retail and facilities management industry are varied and complex," said Pat Bacigalupo, ConnexFM Chair. "The ConnexFM Mid-Year Conference this year is presenting a strong roster of speakers and forums to address these issues head-on! Attendees will leave the event some valuable insights and solutions that will have a real-world impact on their organizations."
