1/28/2026
ARLINGTON, VA - Sam Lippman wants you to know that this is no time to reminisce. That means the 25th anniversary of the Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum (ECEF) will once again be focused on helping 250 industry leaders connect and stay ahead. Lippman is President of Lippman Connects, producer of ECEF, which will be held on May 27 at the Grand Hyatt in Washington D.C.
Acknowledged as the premier information sharing and relationship-building experience for executives for 25 years, ECEF 2026 will not be a trip down memory lane. There will be nonstop networking punctuated by provocative C-level presentations curated by Lippman. He will set the tone for the day with the fast-paced and fact-filled 5 Key Data Points in 5 Minutes.
The Keynote Address, A Global Mindset Pays Off Even If You Operate Locally, will be delivered by Edwina Kulego, Vice President Global Development and Growth, Fashion, Informa. Edwina will explain that a global mindset has nothing to do with borders or expansion. It boils down to increasing the resilience of your organization in an era where uncertainty is never-ending. She will explore how even small mindset shifts can create outsized leadership impacts.
