Rob Mesirow, who grew all the largest mobile technology shows in the country, has been announced as the final speaker for the sold out Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum (ECEF), June 1, Washington, D.C. Rob will share his vision on how the coming technology can benefit event organizers.

Formerly of CTIA and now Partner at PwC, Rob Mesirow fills out the ECEF 2016 program with a timely presentation on what the Internet of Things (IoT) will mean to the events industry. “IoT is coming and will disrupt exhibitions in profound ways,” Mesirow said. “I’ll suggest ways to turn the fire hose of data generated by events into valuable business intelligence.”
