This first-of-its kind executive-level summit will run concurrently with GIFT+HOME at Las Vegas Market, on Thursday, January 31, and Friday, February 1, 2013, at World Market Center Las Vegas. Financing issues and opportunities will be addressed by Paul Tashima, Managing Director - Corporate Cash Management Group at UBS Financial Services, in "Effective Corporate Cash Investment Management: Capturing Positive Returns in a Zero Interest Rate Environment," on Thursday, January 31. Tashima will discuss investing in the overnight market and beyond, interest income expectations and Federal Reserve policy. Industry mergers and acquisitions will be explored in a panel discussion with "Strategic Acquirers in the Industry," on January 31. Based on their own past and future experiences, panelists Lance Hart, President of DEMDACO; George Kacic, Vice President of Giftcraft; and John Toler, Vice President of Evergreen Enterprises, will address acquisition strategies, including what to look for in a target company, what metrics are used in the decision to acquire, and how to determine a purchase price.
