Bill Clinton To Speak At NACS Closing General Session

President Clinton served two terms as the 42nd President of the United States, during a time of tremendous prosperity and change. After leaving the White House in 2001, he established the William J. Clinton Foundation to help strengthen the capacity of people throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence.  A powerful voice for progress around the world, President Clinton will share his unique insights and observations from the world stage, as well as point the way toward a common future based on shared goals and values.

“President Clinton continues our long-standing tradition of having the world’s top leaders share their insights and perspectives at the NACS Show,” said Dave Carpenter, NACS vice chairman of Convention & Events and president and CEO of J.D. Carpenter Cos. “President Clinton is that rare speaker who can provide both a behind-the-scenes look at some of the world’s biggest events, as well as a charismatic and inspirational look ahead at how we all can play a leading role in improving conditions around the world.”

More than 21,000 attendees and 1,200 exhibiting companies are expected to attend the NACS Show. Registration is now open at www.nacsshow.com.
