CEO Connection, in Conjunction with the Wharton School, Hosts 2013 Mid-Market Convention, Oct. 21-22, 2013

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CEO Connection, the only membership organization in the world focused exclusively on mid-market CEOs, is partnering with the Wharton School in Philadelphia for the 2013 CEO Connection Mid-Market Convention, to be held Oct. 21-22, 2013, at the Philadelphia campus of Wharton.

The CEO Connection Mid-Market Convention is the premier annual gathering of mid-market CEOs from around the globe. Prominent leaders from diverse industries, along with select government officials, academic figures, subject matter experts and media personalities will come together for a two-day program designed to benefit their companies, the mid-market and society at large.

"The world needs the kind of pragmatic, achievable solutions that the leaders of the mid-market are uniquely qualified to craft," said Ken Beck, CEO of CEO Connection. "Collectively, mid-market CEOs lead organizations that account for over $5 trillion of the U.S. GDP and represent more than 40 million employees—their voice is one that should be heard more."

Keynote speakers for this year's conference are Paul Bascobert, President, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Jostein Solheim, CEO, Ben & Jerry's.

The mission of the Mid-Market Convention is to bring together the leadership of the mid-market, the best thinkers of academia and business, and senior government officials to share ideas, help each other and change the world. One way in which they can achieve this is by helping formulate sustainable solutions that can balance the needs of the corporate world, the public and our future.

The mid-market represents a critical but often underemphasized portion of the U.S. economy. These companies—each with revenues between $100 million and $3 billion annually—drive a tremendous amount of global trade, and their CEOs know how to lead complex organizations and creatively use the resources to which they have access. Despite their massive contribution to the American economy, the emphasis of media coverage and political discussion often focuses on the Fortune 500, or alternately on the mass of small businesses.
