Chris Zweigenthal, Regional Director for the USA Eastern Seaboard at Unique Speaker Bureau International (USBI), plays a key role in connecting clients across North America with USBI’s global speaker network.

With a focus on building strong, long-term relationships, Chris ensures that corporates and event planners gain access to the very best thought leaders from around the world—experts who deliver impact well beyond the stage.

At IMEX America 2026, Chris is proud to represent USBI as a partner both to MPI and IMEX. With several USA and International speakers joining us, our focus at IMEX this year is for speakers to engage with buyers on how to actively create better conferences in 2027 and beyond. We shall capture the essence of these conversations and provide this valuable input to IMEX, MPI and the buyer community we meet.

USBI will host a session on this topic at Smart Monday as well as an interactive Hallway discussion between speakers and buyers. From Tuesday to Thursday, USBI will host meetings together with speakers and buyers to explore important themes of this topic.

Chris’s passion is helping clients solve local challenges with global solutions, creating events that leave a lasting impression.
