The Congress & Expo will feature excellent speakers. The 2014 Keynote will be delivered by Ken Segall. Author of Insanely Simple, Segall is an advertising executive who worked closely with Steve Jobs for over 12 years. He started the i-frenzy by naming iMac and helped develop Apple’s famous Think different campaign. To Steve Jobs, “simplicity” was a religion. He built a company based on its principles, in which the complexities of traditional business were simply not tolerated. Insanely Simple explains the ten elements of simplicity that drive Apple’s success. The Apple story is fascinating to people across all industries. Congress & Expo attendees will be enlightened and entertained by insights provided by Ken Segall.

Chris Fisher, Managing Principal, Ducker Worldwide, will be the featured speaker during Thursday morning’s general session. The economy is recovering, population is shifting, financial regulations are changing and the housing industry has permanently shifted. To help business owners and industry players address the future, this session will provide a data driven assessment of historic and future dynamics and drivers of the industry from which to understand triggers of growth/decline as well as clusters of opportunity. Issues such as economics, financial tools, traditional housing, income, population statistics and other factors that correlate to help explain the new future will be explored. A proven growth model process for leaders who want to better align their business and prepare to “outperform” the industry will be presented. This 5-step process will enable attendees to better prepare, align and execute in the changing manufactured housing economy.
