Future Event Concepts

Future DHI Conference and Exposition Concepts Survey

After reading the white paper,"Future Conference and Exposition Concepts," we encourage you to take this brief survey (approximately 3 minutes long) that will give us your critical feedback and provide valuable input to our strategies moving forward.

If you have not read the information referenced in this survey, please cut and paste the following URL into your Internet browser: http://www.dhi.org/shared/forms/PDFforms/events/DHI-Future-Conference-and-Expo-Concepts.pdf to read a white paper outlining several future industry meeting models, as well as an overview of the recent process utilized in developing the concepts for the changes under consideration.

Our industry is changing, as are the needs of our members. Gathering together for face-to-face meetings remains a critical underpinning to the relationships between channel partners in our industry. No manner of technology will ever change that, and as we retool our event, we want you to participate in that process. No opinion or comment is without merit.

Question Title

Concept #1- Continue to enhance the current Annual Conference and Exposition to increase value and participation, while developing an Annual National Executive Summit to be held either in conjunction with the annual convention or at a separate time and place.
