Starkey Hearing Innovations Expo

Definitely the best Expo, and I have been to all of them. They just keep getting better. Thanks Starkey.

Hearing Innovation Expo
at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas
This is my third time attending the Starkey Hearing Innovation Expo. Each time, I have been blown away by the quality of this event. For starters, it’s big. This year’s event had over 3,200 attendees from over 40 countries. The Expo also has a lot to offer: some of the best speakers in the world, focused training classes, and insights into the technology.
I’ve been to many conferences and seminars, including state and national meetings and this one leaves them all in the dust.
The 3 day Expo is organized with a daily theme:
Day One — Leading in Hearing Science
Guest speakers: «Idea Monkey» Mike Maddock; Nikolaj Hviid, President of the Bragi Dash; ABC Shark Tank’s Daymond John, Kevin O’Leary, Barbara Corcoran and Mark Cuban; Peter Diamandis, named one of the world’s 50 greatest leaders by Fortune.
Day Two — Leading in Your Market
Guest speakers: Randi Zuckerberg, CEO of Zuckerberg Media; Silcon Valley-​based marketing pioneer Satjiiv S. Chahil; Daniel Pink, named one of the top business thinkers in the world by Thinkers 50; and President Bill Clinton.

Guest Speakers: Earvin «Magic» Johnson; best-​selling author, Andy Andrews; William F Austin, President and Founder of Starkey Hearing Technologies; Academy Award Winner Ben Affleck; President George W. Bush.

In addition to those assemblies, there were 39 breakout sessions to choose from and the Hearing Innovations Tour which was an impressive behind the scenes look at the the science and technology that goes into hearing aids. There was also the Solution Hall, featuring hearing aid products and industry related exhibits.
