BUILT AROUND GROWING THE BUSINESS

The Event Planner Expo brings together event planners, corporate decision-makers, venues, and industry suppliers across three days, with 150+ exhibitors on two floors and more than 25 speakers. The Expo is designed to put attendees in the room with the people they can hire, partner with, refer business to, and do business with throughout the year.

The Speaker Series is the Expo's education day, built for owners and decision-makers, with keynote sessions, fireside chats, and panels on business growth, marketing, sales, and running a more profitable event company. "Most people are one decision away from a completely different business. I've watched it happen over and over. I'm coming to New York to talk about what that decision usually is." - Ed Mylett.

Past Expo keynote speakers include Gary Vaynerchuk, Martha Stewart, Daymond John, Barbara Corcoran, Mel Robbins, Jesse Itzler, Tim Grover, and Colin Cowie.
