Executive Program Experience: Exhibitions and Events In A Politics-First World

IAEE members operate in an increasingly politics-first world. What happens in Washington, D.C., in 2026 will impact what happens on the show floor, both positively and negatively. Join ECA’s Executive Vice President, Tommy Goodwin, as he answers key questions from Capitol Hill and the White House and previews what to expect from the world of politics in the year ahead.

Learning objectives:

• Understand the 7 key politics and policy questions that will impact the industry next year.
• Learn about IAEE and ECA’s top 2026 public policy priorities
• Find out how you can get involved on behalf of IAEE and the broader industry

The Executive Program is first come first served, no registration needed.
