Ellipsys Commercial Technology Group plans to hold its first-ever exclusive networking and education event in October for the group’s Charter Members. The Ellipsys Catalyst event, scheduled for October 1-2 in Phoenix, will be the first opportunity for the Members and Vendor Partners to come together in an intimate setting, share best practices and conduct business on behalf of the organization.
“While a culmination of all the hard work that’s gone into building and growing the group, Ellipsys Catalyst truly serves as the launch pad for where we can take this thing over the next few months and years,” says Chris Whitley, executive director of Ellipsys. “I can’t wait to see all of our Charter Members and Vendor Partners come together in one space. It’s going to be a truly special event with invaluable learning and networking opportunities for our commercial integrators.”
The education lineup for the event includes two fascinating presentations that will highlight key economic and industry trends.
Renowned keynote speaker and demographic trends expert Tim Costello will open the event with a deep dive into the possible impact of population trends on the commercial market both here at home and around the globe.
“These are not traditional conversations around the office, but make no mistake, they power our markets and drive economic growth,” says Whitley. “We are experiencing a double whammy of shrinking population and a significant pivot in economic control to a new younger generation. This will impact the future of all our businesses. To thrive we must first understand it and then adapt our strategies to leverage this new reality. The future will belong to those that harness the power of change.”
Commercial Integrator Group Editor Dan Ferrisi will follow that up with a conversation focused a little more on the here and now. His State of the Industry presentation will highlight key areas of growth and where commercial integrators are driving higher margins today.
“Both of these sessions play perfectly off of one another and deliver an impactful message to our Members about the opportunities they have in front of them right now, and where they can pivot to realize success into the future,” says Whitley. “We want this first-ever Ellipsys Catalyst event to really set the stage for where our group and this industry is heading, and I can’t think of two better keynote presenters to help us deliver exactly that.” Ellipsys Catalyst is an opportunity that’s exclusive to Members of the group. Commercial integrators interested in learning more about the event and the benefits of joining Ellipsys should reach out to Executive Director Chris Whitley at chris.whitley@ellipsysgroup.org.
