Featured Keynotes Include NASA Scientist and Boeing Case Study at Questex’s 2020 Sensors Expo & Conference and Embedded Technologies Expo & Conference

Presentations to highlight the critical role of sensing technology in deep space exploration and how organizations can build safer systems

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., March 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Questex today unveiled keynote speakers for the 2020 Sensors Expo & Conference (#Sensors20) and Embedded Technologies Expo & Conference (#EmbTech20) events. Featuring Dr. Kathleen Gallagher Boggs, Exploration Capabilities Development Team Lead for NASA, and Gregory Travis, Managing Director, Supporwell LLC, this year’s presentations will highlight the critical role of sensing technology in extending the opportunities for deep space exploration and the software development approaches that today’s organizations can use to build safer systems. The two insightful keynotes will kickstart the 2020 events, giving attendees a unique opportunity to learn more about today’s applications and future trends and discover new approaches to evergreen challenges. To view the 2020 Sensors Expo & Conference schedule, please visit HERE.  To view the 2020 Embedded Technologies Expo & Conference schedule, please visit HERE.

Keynote sessions include:

From airplanes and automobiles to the latest electronic devices and wearable technology, software is an increasingly important part of most products today, delivering gains in flexibility, speed-to-market, cost advantages, and features that would not be achievable in hardware alone. In fact, at the core of it many modern systems are really just networks of computers and software. But along with the exponential growth in software code has come added complexity and risk that can be difficult to manage in even some of the seemingly simplest of systems. Using the example of what went wrong with the Boeing 737 MAX, this keynote examines the engineering, cultural, systems design and software development approaches that can lead to negative outcomes and what today’s organizations can do to build safer systems.

This keynote presentation discusses NASA’s current exploration plans and the challenges associated with human voyages to the Moon and Mars. It describes key human spaceflight capabilities that must be advanced to enable NASA’s exploration goals, including sensors and avionics that can survive extreme environments, systems that enable crew and vehicle autonomy, and highly reliable environmental monitoring systems that require minimal maintenance. The keynote presentation will also address the importance and application of these capabilities to deep space human spaceflight, and the activities required to advance critical exploration capabilities, the means of demonstrating system performance, and implementation planning, including selection of flight test location based upon the unique environments and characteristics of the International Space Station, exploration-class vehicles, and lunar surface habitats.

Questex Cancels The Beauty Experience NY (IBS NY) and International Esthetician, Cosmetic and Spa Conference (IECSC) Events Amid COVID-19 Concerns

Follows New York Declaring a State of Emergency

NEW YORK, March 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Questex, the parent company of The Beauty Experience (IBS NY) and the International Esthetician, Cosmetic and Spa Conference (IECSC), today announces the two events will be cancelled based on COVID-19 concerns. Questex is seeking alternative dates for its beauty and wellness community to come together.

The two shows, slated to co-locate at the Javits Convention Center in New York March 8-10, draw tens of thousands of people each and every year. They also attract the largest manufacturers and suppliers to the professional beauty, barber, spa, skincare, nails and makeup/cosmetic markets.

Earlier today, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared state of emergency as the number of Coronaviruses surge. “There’s no doubt that massive quarantine is the best way to slow the spread,” Cuomo said. New York joins multiple states that have declared emergencies over the coronavirus, including Maryland, California and Utah. The emergency declaration allows for more resources to go to local health departments responsible for monitoring those under quarantine, among other efforts, Cuomo said.

“With new reports of COVID-19 cases in New York and the state of emergency announced by Governor Cuomo, our decision to cancel both The Beauty Experience (IBS NY) and the International Esthetician, Cosmetic and Spa Conference (IECSC) was a difficult decision,” said Paul Miller, CEO of Questex. “We are facing an unprecedented health situation. There is no greater importance than the health and safety of our community members and that will always be the guiding principle that drives. We want to thank the beauty and wellness industry for their support of the events. It is these organizations and people that enable us to bring our community together to buy and sell spa, esthetics, cosmetic, salon, barber and other beauty products that drive our industry.”

Questex will be introducing a digital solution, which will feature many of the educators, speakers and exhibitors from both of the events, to help keep buyers and sellers connected in the industry during this challenging time.

Questex Postpones the International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF); Event Rescheduled for May 2020 in Berlin

NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Due to the global concern regarding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, Questex today announces it will postpone the International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF), the world’s largest and most influential hospitality investment event, and its co-located event Adjacent Spaces@IHIF. The shows were set to take place next week – 2-4 March 2020 – in Berlin Germany and will be moved to the 4-6 of May at the InterContinental Hotel and Pullman hotel respectively.

The health and safety of our attendees is of the utmost importance to Questex. We have been in constant communication with our key partners, sponsors and delegates and it has become clear that the most prudent action for the industry and the greater public health is for us to postpone the event. The hotel investment community has urged us to reschedule the event as soon as possible and the Intercontinental and Pullman hotels in Berlin have been very accommodating.

“This was a very difficult decision as many in the community were asking us to proceed with the show. Ultimately there is no greater importance than the health and safety of our community members and that will always be the guiding principle that drives our business,” said Paul Miller, CEO of Questex.

“We are sorry to disappoint our delegates but their safety and wellbeing, as well as that of our presenters and staff has to come first,” commented Alexi Khajavi, Managing Director EMEA. “We have the support and commitments of our industry partners and IHIF will be back as always better and bigger.”

IHIF connects the ambitious, brave, curious and disruptive professionals that shape the world of hospitality investment globally. During this time of uncertainty, we will ensure that we continue our discussion of the deals and opportunities and continue to connect the community through our digital platforms.

Our heartfelt wishes are with all those impacted across the world.

We will be contacting all delegates for rebooking.

Walking through the Nightclub & Bar Show the high energy is palpable, as operators and investors in the bar and restaurant industry experience chef demonstrations, mixology courses and new product innovation. Beauty professionals queue up for hair treatments and massages and cheer on peers during barber contests at The Beauty Experience. At Digital Pharma East, Facebook and GlaxoSmithKline executives mingle to discuss cutting-edge marketing trends to put into immediate action.

Turnkey Portal Ensures Business Event and Communications through Interruptions

NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Business continuity planning is an imperative business practice for organizations. Business interruptions are difficult – whether they are related to travel disruptions, pandemic viruses (like the Coronavirus), supply chain issues or key employee announcements – and communications are imperative. Questex today unveils a digital platform specifically for business continuity – the QBusiness Continuity Center ensures business communications through business interruptions.   

“Business interruptions are challenging for any organization. It’s vital for companies to have a plan in place that guarantees business continuity,” said Paul Miller, CEO of Questex. “The QBusiness Continuity Center provides companies with an online solution that can be used in the event of a business interruption that limits attendees from participating at a live event or to bring a company or a group of individuals within a company together quickly and efficiently. Although not a replacement for live events QBusiness Continuity can help bridge a critical gap.”

Businesses have embraced digital business solutions as effective communication tools for their audience experience, to improve communications and gain a competitive advantage. The QBusiness Continuity Center is a turnkey virtual communications portal that enables businesses to deliver critical communications in a secure, interactive environment. The QBusiness Continuity Center can be functional for any organization to connect and communicate in just days. 

Components of the QBusiness Continuity Center include:

  • Webcast, conference capabilities
  • Auditorium with optional group chat and a complete list of upcoming and available presentations
  • Resource Library that hosts relevant materials such as presentation slides and supplemental material all in one location
  • Group chat, one-to-one chats, surveys and polls

The QBusiness Continuity Center offers scale for an organization of any size and complexity and can be created for both large and small events. The platform is easy to use and does not require a download – all audiences are able to access the platform through a web browser and the Internet. Access is security-controlled, ensuring that only registered attendees are able to participate.  

“Questex’s Technology, Media, and Telecom group is excited to quickly take advantage of this new platform by launching 5G BLITZ Week for our FierceWireless community during the week of March 23,” Kevin Gray, Vice President of Questex’s Technology, Media, and Telecom commented. “As a part of this, we’ll be putting together a multitude of virtual panels, fireside chats, and interviews throughout the week, all complemented with special reports on 5G across our industry leading sites. At such a critical time in the development of next generation wireless networks, it’s imperative that our community is able to access additional education from industry leaders in the unfortunate coronavirus enforced absence of Mobile World Congress this year.”

As President of the IRF, Harris directs the efforts of the foundation, an organization that funds and promotes research to increase the understanding, effective use, and benefits of non-cash incentives to businesses globally. Her stellar career is exemplified by her leadership roles at American Express Meetings & Events and at Maritz as well as her service on the Meeting Professionals International Foundation Board and the Travel + Leisure Business Travel Advisory Board. Currently, she represents the IRF on the Events Industry Council and serves on the Incentive Federation Board of Directors.

“We are thrilled that Stephanie will share the findings of this very important research with our event attendees,” said Jill Birkett, Event Director. “At GMITE we strive to deliver the most relevant and cutting-edge content that allows them to do their work more effectively.”

“This is the best show for the meetings industry in the Americas. Excellent service, organization, concept, qualified buyers and lots of leads in my business bag,” said Ninoslav Vidovic, Cluster Director of Sales, Hilton Prague.

Held in partnership with SITE, the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence, GMITE brings fully hosted, high-volume North American incentive buyers and meeting planners who have a combined purchasing power of $1.5 billion, together with global suppliers for two and a half days of exclusive networking opportunities and pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings in private, luxury suites.

FDA, Pfizer, Celgene, UBC and Others Discussed New Innovations in Risk Management Operations at Questex’s 12th REMS Summit

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Last week Questex’s 12th Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) Summit provided a platform for over 100 attendees to share best practices over the course of two days on how to design, develop, implement and evaluate REMS. The event took place January 21-22 at the Key Bridge Marriott in Arlington, VA. 

Regulatory leaders from the FDA, Pfizer, UBC, NOVARTIS, REGENERON, CELGENE, and other life science and regulatory organizations addressed major challenges and had a chance to network, discuss, and learn: 

  • How E-prescribing can cause a REMS issue and how to mitigate this issue
  • The FDA’s new benefit/risk counseling guidelines and how it affects REMS
  • Developing application of REMS technology for ease of access
  • FDA’s part in reducing the burden of REMS and developing evaluation methods 

And so much more. 

This year’s Summit featured 18 speakers, including Gita Toyserkani, Regulatory Health Policy Analyst, and Linda Huynh, ORISE Fellow, both from the FDA who presented, A Standardized Approach to REMS Using Implementation Science and How an evidence-based practice (EBP) can be advantageous to promote the use of an effective REMS program that is best modeled for your product and walked the audience through the ways to apply best practices to streamline REMS approval. 

Marc Morris, Vice President, Safety and Pharmacovigilance from Apellis Pharmaceuticals discussed Planning for a First REMS in a Clinical-Stage Medium-Size Enterprise and How a lack of Established Policies and Procedures Can Greatly Reduce the Effectiveness of a REMS Program.

“UBC was pleased to be a corporate sponsor and co-chair of the 12th REMS Summit in Arlington, VA. Each year, this conference is a mainstay where REMS experts from industry, academia and the FDA gather to share insights and discuss solutions for ensuring patient safety and maintaining the benefit/risk profile of biopharmaceutical products. There are always new and provocative topics presented, as well as updates on technology and strategies for REMS evaluation. We look forward to participating in the 13th Summit in 2021,” said Annette Stemhagen, DrPH, FISPE, Senior Vice President, Chief Science Officer, Safety, Epidemiology, Registries & Risk Management, UBC.

“Excellent event. Relevant and valuable discussions, and a great opportunity to connect with many REMS leaders,” added Kal Elhoregy, Director, Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Programs, Regulatory Affairs Clinical, Amneal Pharmaceuticals.

“At this year’s REMS Summit our attendees learned the necessary elements that need to be included in REMS for their product, as well as details required for submission.
