The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) opened registration and room blocks for its annual meeting, to be held June 20-22 at the Omni Grove Park Inn, Asheville, N.C.
“This year’s event is designed to give attendees as much time as possible to connect with one another, and to come away from the meeting with actionable ideas to improve their businesses,” said Kris Kiser, OPEI President. “Asheville is easy to get to, and close to many of our member companies, so we’re expecting a great turnout as we celebrate 70 years of connecting members.”
Open to all OPEI members, the event features a slate of award-winning speakers, plenty of time for networking, and the annual OPEI Louisville Classic golf scramble.
In addition to industry updates from association staff and tours of Asheville breweries and the Biltmore Estate, the program includes a slate of engaging keynote speakers to address practical topics of leadership, the economy, and business trends, including:
- Economist Alan Beaulieu – “Gauging the Risks Going Forward 2023 – 2024”
- Ford Motor Co. Chief Futurist Sheryl Connelly – “Confessions of a Corporate Futurist: Coming Trends That Will Revolutionize Your Business”
- Pulitzer Prize-winning Presidential Historian and Author Jon Meacham – “The Art of Leadership: Lessons From the American Presidency”
