Taking place in Navy Pier’s historic Grand Ballroom on July 9, the program will be an engaging conversation around “UnPlugged: a dialogue on today’s meeting trends.” After the program, attendees will gather on Navy Pier’s rooftop for a multi-organization networking reception, followed by fireworks.

#IX2014 FEATURES LEADING MEETINGS, EVENT and TRAVEL INDUSTRY SPEAKERS

Building on last year’s successful event (Industry Trends as well as the prior’s year’s session Inside NATO: A Planner’s Perspective), IX2014 will focus on key industry trends and what they mean to the Chicago meetings and events industry.

”There are so many compelling initiatives happening in our industry, it is important that we speak with one voice,” says Nan Marschand Beauvois, Senior Director, National Council Relations, US Travel Association and IX2014 keynote speaker.

“This year’s IX panel discussion will be an exciting, thought-provoking discussion, not a love fest,” says Chris Perry, Hiltons of Chicago.

“Our focus? Amping up the engagement level for all our attendees. That’s what they want today,” says Julie Larson, McDonald’s Corporation.

“We have our fingers on the pulse of what’s happening with customers and hotelier alike,” says Bill Grusich, ALHI.

“Let’s talk about the next generation of meeting professionals. I am worried that today’s educators and students are not prepped for the real world…because it is changing so fast,” says Sue Tinnish, Kendall College

“Trends facing our industry? There are so many…how to better leverage technology, determining the value of F2F meetings, smarter measurement tools, how to better deliver our content…I can’t wait to talk about these and more at this year’s IX,” says Alec Rosofsky, American College of Healthcare Executives.

Patricia Perez, Director of the Dominican Republic Tourism Board; Deborah Sexton, PCMA and Paul Van Deventer, MPI Global will also participate on the panel.

Katie Callahan-Giobbi, Minding Your Business, Inc., panel moderator says, ““This will be an interesting, dynamic conversation about today’s meeting trends and their implications to you and your business. IX is the Chicago-area event that taps into our collective efforts to advance our industry.”
