CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — PCMA and CEMA President and CEO, Sherrif Karamat, CAE today announced Scott Galloway, acclaimed professor, author, and entrepreneur will share his bold predictions for the trends and forces that will shape the 2025 business landscape. Galloway will deliver his main stage keynote on Sunday, January 12th immediately prior to the Convening Leaders 2025 (CL25) opening reception.
“To ensure the global business events industry has the knowledge to create change, we must first have a solid understanding of what lies ahead,” said Karamat. “I am very much looking forward to kicking off CL25 with a new format, and what better way to do so than with Scott who will undoubtedly challenge us to push the boundaries and think differently on how changes in our society and workforce are having a transformational impact on our businesses and lives and what we can do to turn these into opportunities.”
The opening keynote is a strategic blueprint for leaders who dare to push boundaries. Galloway will discuss the future of work, the rise of new business models, and how to navigate an increasingly digital world. His predictions are not just forecasts—they are a call to action for the global business events industry leaders to challenge their assumptions, adapt to disruptive changes, and gain a competitive edge.
