“The upcoming ELFA Annual Convention is all about taking your business, your career and our entire industry to the next level, in keeping with our theme ‘Next Level Success,’” said ELFA President and CEO Leigh Lytle. “We've got some exciting new experiences lined up—all designed to help you learn, connect, do business and have a bit of fun along the way."

The agenda will cover a range of critical industry issues. Highlights include:

• Dynamic keynotes from geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan, business leader and former CEO of United Airlines Oscar Munoz and political analyst Amy Walter.
• New this year, educational sessions will be organized into hot-topic tracks, making it easier for attendees to focus on areas of greatest interest. The Call for Presentations deadline is July 17.
• Also new this year, the ELFA Hub in the exhibit hall will be a place to connect with peers and industry providers, listen to future-focused podcasts and tech talks, and refresh with Texas-sized snacks and drinks.
