Your organization has acquired a new show. Now what happens? Join long time industry veteran Rick McConnell, CEO of Trifecta Collective, as he lays out the key concerns that we all have when a new business is now part of your portfolio. Ideas and proven strategies around developing a new combined team structure as well as figuring out to manage the challenges. What is the current state of business and what are the strategic assets and issues to deal with? How can you integrate the business with your current systems? What synergies can be looked at to maximize growth potential? And what does this mean to me.

Join IAEE DC Chapter’s Team at the 2026 AHA Heart Walk
November 7, 2026
Sign up to walk with us to support the 2026 IAEE DC Chapter in honor of Terence Donnelly, CMP, CEM, a longtime chapter member who survived an unexpected cardiac arrest in 2018 due to someone trained and prepared to perform CPR. Heart health matters in every industry - ours included! If you'd like to help raise funds, learn more by contacting iaeedc@gmail.com. Closer to the AHA Walk we will send details on meeting time and place. For those available, we will gather afterward for coffee, mimosas and breakfast.
