September 2020 - Message of the CEO and Chairman Board of Directors

Dear ERA Global members, colleagues and friends,

Many of us will remember the unfortunate and surprising news on 1st June 2018 when we heard of the sudden demise of the ERA in the US. 

ERA Europe had always been a separate entity and in good financial health. At that time we had been looking forward to attending the ERA US conference in Las Vegas which was just three months away in September. 

At the ERA Europe conference in Seville later in June 2018, we resolved to go to Las Vegas regardless and ensure that the global network for our industry was maintained. At the same time a new organisation was formed in the US, a phoenix from the ashes, called the PDMI. The PDMI moved rapidly to establish a replacement conference and a new venue in Las Vegas. ERA Europe and PDMI became partners and have since become good friends. Our members were therefore able to enjoy a successful conference in America in the fall of 2018.

Over the past two years since these tumultuous events, ERA Europe has been transitioning to become ERA Global and a truly worldwide association. We now have member companies from five continents, we have set up an Asia Pacific Chapter and we have North American as well as Asian representatives on our Board.

2021 will be the year where we shall make a huge leap forward in serving our international community. ERA Global is COMING TO AMERICA.  As well as planning a member lounge at the Inspired Home Show in Chicago (now 7th-10th August 2021), we shall be launching our very first US conference, and we shall be back in Las Vegas!

We proudly announce and ask you to save the date for the ERA Global US Conference:  20th – 22nd September 2021, at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Hotel.

More than a year away, we are already very excited and can’t wait to see you all there.

All the best and Viva Las Vegas!
