Throughout 2024, ECA will also be introducing new advocacy capabilities that will allow industry leaders and advocates to share their stories and make their voices heard in the political and policymaking processes.
WASHINGTON, DC – With Congress nearing its return and state legislatures starting to gavel in nationwide, the Exhibitions & Conferences Alliance (ECA) has released its 2024 public policy agenda. ECA’s alliance partners and board of directors have identified five key areas of focus for the year ahead:
“In 2024, ECA will be laser-focused on advocating for policies to uphold the role of the business events industry in propelling economic growth, fostering job creation, and empowering small businesses nationwide and globally,” said Hervé Sedky, Emerald Holding Inc. President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chair of the ECA board of directors.
As part of ECA’s 2024 public policy agenda, six issues were highlighted as top priorities for the coming year:
In addition, ECA will support the efforts of its alliance partners and others throughout the industry to raise awareness of the business events sector to our future workforce.
“From ensuring that all international exhibitors and attendees can return to exhibitions and conferences in the U.S. to supporting public sector involvement in developing the industry’s next generation workforce, ECA will be actively engaged in Washington, DC and beyond on the issues that matter for the industry in 2024,” said Vinnie Polito, Society of Independent Show Organizers Chief Executive Officer and ECA Co-President.
This year, ECA will work to build upon many 2023 successes for the industry on Capitol Hill and in state houses and city halls nationwide including:
“ECA has had a very successful 2023, but its work on behalf of our industry is just beginning,” said Marsha Flanagan, M.Ed., CEM, International Association of Exhibitions and Events President and Chief Executive Officer and ECA Co-President. “In the weeks and months ahead, ECA will continue to amplify the advocacy voice of the business events industry including show organizers, exhibitors, suppliers, venues, and hard-working men and women that deliver powerful events every day from coast to coast.”
“The business events industry has the best and most passionate advocates around, hands down!” said Tommy Goodwin, FASAE, CAE, PMP, CMP, ECA Vice President. “In 2024, ECA is going ‘all in’ to give them the opportunity to make sure that elected officials hear them loud and clear, whether that’s in Washington, DC on ECA Legislative Action Day or on the show floor in their local communities year-round.”

I instituted a no screen-time policy during my family's road trips. Instead, we listen to audiobooks — and my kids love it.
My family and I live in Alabama and travel throughout the year between Birmingham and the Gulf Coast. Just a little over four hours, it's an easy trip to run down to the white sand beaches. Some of these road trips have been bliss, with the kids taking long naps in the back seat, while others have been less enjoyable, with screaming fits and diaper blowouts.
