What info will be shared this year?
What breaking news will be announced?
From Beckett.com
When the 2016 Industry Summit gets underway on Sunday, it marks the 30th anniversary from when the trade conference first began. In honor of the anniversary, it’s heading back to where it all began — the sunny skies of Hawaii.
If the National is viewed as the biggest event of the year for collectors, then the Industry Summit is the equivalent for the business side of the hobby. It’s one of the few times that dealers, card company staff and executives, league reps and other industry professionals can meet together face-to-face.
Like any trade conference, business is the primary goal for those attending. That means that most of the meetings will be taking place in private. However, the schedule has several presentations, sessions and announcements that will impact collectors and the hobby in general.
You can stay tuned to Beckett News for ongoing coverage of the 2016 Industry Summit starting on Sunday, February 21 until things wrap up on Wednesday, February 24. We’ll be at presentations, sessions and other special events to bring the sights and the conversations to those who won’t be there. You can also follow our various social media channels including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. If you have any questions or want to talk about the conference on Twitter, tag it with #IndustrySummit .
Of course, being an event centered around sports and collectibles, some exclusive cards are being made for the event. Cryptozoic, Leaf, Panini, Topps and Upper Deck will all be on hand with various items exclusive to the event.
The 2016 Industry Summit will have some special guests as well. Kit Young, who founded the original trade show three decades ago, is serving as an honorary co-host. Joining him is Dr. James Beckett who is returning to the conference for the first time in a decade.
