OPENING CEREMONY & KEYNOTE ADDRESS OPENING CEREMONY & KEYNOTE ADDRESS Opening Ceremony & Keynote Address Tuesday, Oct. 17; 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. Ballroom C; Ballroom Level Join us as we kick-off the International Elastomer Conference with a short welcome from our Chair followed by the Keynote Address. Keynote Speaker: Frank A. Davis; President & CEO of The Horizon Group Of Companies Frank Davis is President & Chief Executive Officer of the Horizon Group of Companies headquartered in Birmingham Alabama, one of the largest diversity owned businesses in Alabama, and CIBIC Incorporated, a continuous improvement focused management consulting and training business. During his twenty plus-year tenure as a President & CEO, Frank has led both Horizon and CIBIC to high levels of success; leading Horizon from a zero-revenue startup to a well-recognized historical nine figure provider of process, project and material services to the automotive, utility, institutional, federal, and state business segments and turning CIBIC into an up and coming thought leader in continuous improvement. Frank’s academic credentials include a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from Bucknell University with distinction, a Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, along with an Executive Program Certificate from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Keynote Address: Building Order From Chaos To Jumpstart Excellence Keynote Speaker: Frank A. Davis; President & CEO The Horizon Group Of Companies Businesses, institutions and their rising professionals and managers are being increasingly challenged by our ever-evolving world: a world full of occasional chaos and recurring uncertainty. Some people tout AI, autonomy, open-source intelligence (OSINT) and other human intelligence substitutes as a solution, but our declining societal IQ trends are beginning to paint a different picture. While the pursuit of excellence remains the goal for most and the road to the American Dream for many, that excellence is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve and maintain for a number of reasons. While our professional skill sets generally aid us in our quest to succeed, those skill sets can be rendered ineffective, inefficient or improper when paired with faulty or flawed cognitive (thought) models. Building Order From Chaos To Jumpstart Excellence is an interactive experience designed to elevate attendees to new cognitive heights by exposing them to a recently released highly condensed cognitive primer that promotes the pursuit of excellence for themselves and those who they touch in a new and exciting way. 4 INTERNATIONAL ELASTOMER CONFERENCE
