Joe Higgins who recently retired from Whilrpool gave a very well received Keynote (second year in a row) reviewing his projections from last year which were spot on and his future projections. I was very impressed.

At CES and CEDIA, Joe succinctly condensed mountains of statistical data for retailers, clearly outlining the state of the economy and its potential influences on their businesses… that alone was worth the price of admission.

It is rare when any business organization invites the same person to keynote an annual event in back-to-back years…  they did because his economics forecasts on GDP, unemployment, appliance sales, the stock market and housing starts were right on the money.
