GOLD SPONSOR FREEMAN TO PROVIDE VIRTUAL PLATFORM FOR ECEF

GOLD SPONSOR FREEMAN TO PROVIDE VIRTUAL PLATFORM FOR ECEF

After a nearly six month postponement due to the worldwide pandemic, Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum (ECEF) returns as a completely retooled virtual experience on November 18, 2020. After a careful review of available options, ECEF selected Freeman to provide the virtual event platform. In addition, ECEF named Freeman as the exclusive Gold Sponsor.


“As the owner/operator of ECEF for 19 years, I have watched the Freeman team strengthen their capabilities in strategy, creative, event technology, and digital. Their point of view and vision for this industry is significant to the future of live events. And I’m even more impressed in how they helped us re-think our strategy for a virtual format this year,” said Sam Lippman, President, Lippman Connects, producer of ECEF. “Collaborating with their team to produce this year’s event on the OnlineEvent Pro platform provides ECEF with a robust virtual experience delivering high value to organizers and sponsors alike.”


Once again, Freeman will bring an impressive array of event technologies to ECEF’s TechDemo. More than a dozen event tech products and services from leading suppliers will be available to executives and technologists. This year’s TechDemo will debut on Wednesday, November 18, with exclusive access for ECEF executive clients. A wider audience of technologists will be provided access on November 19 and 20.
“Freeman is thrilled to produce this year's first-ever digital ECEF through our new gold sponsorship. We are excited about the opportunity to offer an engaging and productive integrated experience and help the ECEF community connect, share, and learn in new ways. This sponsorship is a wonderful addition to our continued partnership with Sam and ECEF,” said Bob Priest-Heck, CEO of Freeman. Priest-Heck will participate in the networking and information-exchange on November 18.


Thanks to the elimination of travel expenses, greater convenience, and a lower registration fee, ECEF is expecting wide participation by executives at independent and association event-producing organizations from coast to coast and even abroad.
