5 Reasons Why You Should Attend the ECI Connect Conference

This year’s ECI Connect Conference is four years in the making (thank you, 2020), so we have big plans to make it the best one yet. After all, a lot has happened since our last user conference in 2018: We have launched new products, acquired innovative businesses and solutions, expanded our international footprint, and doubled our employees worldwide. With so much to catch you up on, we are excited to connect in person and work together to help you strengthen how you run your day-to-day.

What do we have in store for you?

1. Speakers will inspire and entertain!

This year, we have a great lineup of speakers who will share stories and ideas that will have you leaving the conference inspired and excited to tackle new challenges.

• Bert Jacobs, co-founder of the lifestyle brand Life is Good®
  
  More than 25 years ago, Bert and his brother embarked on a mission to spread the power of optimism. They had only $78 in their pockets. Today, the Life is Good brand is worth $150m and the company donates 10% of its annual net profits to help kids overcome the impacts of poverty, violence, and illness. How did they do it? Bert’s keynote presentation will unveil his story—mistakes, missteps, and all—and his unlikely and humble beginning. You will leave with the tools to develop an optimistic mindset that leads to success, along with tips on building a vibrant community and brand that will stand the test of time.

• Trevor Gruenewald, CEO, and Sarah Hagan, COO of ECI Software Solutions
  
  Trevor and Sarah took on their new roles in early 2021 and continue to lead the company and our customers towards future growth. Together, they will share the latest developments within our business, solutions, and industry. Attendees will hear directly from our leadership what is planned for the future of ECI as well as what we have in store to help you do business better. This keynote session will provide you with the tools to confidently move forward with us by your side.

• Jeff Civillico, Emcee, Host, and Las Vegas Headliner
  
  Kicking off our Connect Conference will be super-charged Emcee and Host, Jeff Civillico.  Jeff recently celebrated his 10-year run as a headliner in Las Vegas and is a world-renowned entertainer who will keep you on the edge of your seats with his zany, off-the-cuff personality, and juggling skills. With boundless energy, Jeff relates to the issues facing today’s businesses and the need to remain balanced while always keeping multiple balls in the air.
