BOSTON, MA – IHRSA, the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, and Rick Caro announce four new panelists for the annual IHRSA Financial Panel, taking place during IHRSA 2020.
One of the most highly anticipated annual events of the IHRSA Convention, the Financial Panel not only provides attendees the opportunity to hear market reports from highly-regarded financial experts but advice on how to apply this knowledge to current issues impacting their health clubs and fitness businesses.
Rick Caro, panel moderator and president of Management Vision, Inc. said, “This year’s well-rounded panel has in-depth expertise on financial perspectives covering high-end clubs, HV/LP clubs, studios, mid-priced clubs, franchises, family-oriented facilities as well as both private clubs and publicly traded companies.”
This year’s topic, a Financial Perspective on Today’s Consumer, Industry Trends & Challenges, will feature presentations from the following panelists:
- Paul Farber, Vice President, TPG Growth;
- Zach England, Director, Harris Williams;
- Drew Weisman, Managing Director, Jefferies;
- Pierre LeComte, Managing Director, TSG Consumer Partners.
CEOs, CFOs, club owners, GMs, investors, suppliers, and those interested in the current economic conditions affecting the health club market should plan to attend this session. Attendees will learn how financial executives view the industry’s strengths and weaknesses, how they see future trends, how different segments within the industry are faring, and how the current debt and equity markets are behaving relative to the fitness industry.
“The annual IHRSA Financial Panel is a must for any industry stakeholder, whether investor, club operator or supplier, who wants a deeper understanding of the industry within the context of the U.S. economy and financial markets,” says Joe Moore, IHRSA president and CEO. He added, “The Wall Street experts that speak in this panel have excellent insight into how financial models affect the health club industry, and most often their predictions are accurate.”
The IHRSA Financial Panel will take place in San Diego, CA, at 10-11:30 a.m. Friday, March 20, as part of IHRSA 2020, the association’s 39th annual international convention and trade show.
