Attendees Encouraged to Register in December for Exclusive Opportunity
LAS VEGAS – December 6, 2012 – Gift and home executives who register no later than January 4 for the inaugural Gift & Home CEO Summit during Winter 2013 Las Vegas Market will have exclusive access to Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary, at a special breakfast event on Thursday, January 31, 2013. The two-day summit occurs Thursday, January 31, and Friday, February 1, at World Market Center Las Vegas.
Reich has agreed to join CEO Summit participants for an invitation-only breakfast gathering immediately preceding his keynote address on Thursday, January 31, at 9:15 AM. His presentation, which will address international currency and geopolitical issues, will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Bob Maricich, CEO of International Market Centers (IMC).
“This event offers a rare opportunity to personally meet one of the United States’ top economic strategists and thought leaders,” said conference organizer Randy Eller, president of Eller Enterprises. “We’re delighted to be able to offer this additional, and exclusive, benefit to our earliest CEO Summit supporters.”
Reich, an economic analyst, CNBC contributor, and author of 14 books, has served under three national administrations, most recently as Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton. He also served on President Barack Obama's economic transition board. Currently a professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley, Reich has written more than 200 articles on the global economy, the changing nature of work, and the centrality of human capital. In 2003, he received the prestigious Vaclev Havel prize for his original contributions to economic thinking. In 2004, he was named one of America's three most influential opinion leaders on business and the economy, based on a study by Accenture.
The conference program – the first of its kind for the U.S. gift and home décor industry –includes keynote addresses, panel discussions and other topical presentations, with all content geared towards CEOs, presidents and owners of gift and home businesses. Co-produced by International Market Centers (IMC) and Eller Enterprises, the event will take place January 31-February 1, 2013, during the Winter 2013 Las Vegas Market.
