An invitation to learning and growth

Dear Power Trade Friend and Colleague,

Your success in 2025 will depend, at least in part, on the relationships you’ve cultivated and the partnerships you’ve formed while supporting our industry through thick and thin.

This year, OPE+ Power Forum has designed a conference that will build and strengthen those valuable connections that signal your vested interest. Gone is the impersonal large room of tabletops, instead we have curated more individualized ways to promote your brand and network through shared experiences.

As a business owner, I rely on the thought leadership of our suppliers and vendors to provide a perspective of the latest tools, best demonstrated practices and insights to make critical decisions. Decisions that require me to navigate what’s ahead with the economy, consumer confidence, interest rates, how to make the best use of AI, logistics and the like. 

That thought leadership extends to being as informed as I am about the issues affecting the business environment and the markets we serve. I wear lots of hats as you do, but I certainly don’t pretend to be an economist, or a futurist. Fortunately, at Power Forum, we will hear from both.

On Day 1, we’ll wake up to opening keynote and international bestselling author Jay Samit. He is a dynamic entrepreneur who is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on disruption, innovation, e-commerce and AI. Our Day 2 keynote is Dr. Elliot Eisenberg, the Chief Economist for GraphsandLaughs, who will explain the economic impact of the new administration on government regulation, tariffs, inflation, and other current economic issues facing our industry.

We appreciate your investment in our industry thus far and best wishes for a New Year full of opportunities born of powering through its challenges TOGETHER.

Marion Minor, 

CEO & Owner
