About the Krakoff Leadership Institute Fund

The untimely passing of industry legend Robert L. Krakoff in 2007 inspired a large group of his friends and associates to create a fund in his name. The purpose of the Krakoff Leadership Institute Fund of the Exhibition Industry Foundation (EIF) is to serve as a source of training and support for the future leaders of the exhibition industry.

The Krakoff Leadership Institute sponsored by Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority (LV CVA) . The support of the LV CVA will play an important role in the development of future industry leaders.

Investment in the Krakoff Leadership Institute Fund will also be used to support leadership development programs of other industry-based organizations as well as colleges and universities. The objective of EIF is to ensure that future leaders of the exhibition and events industry are identified as early as possible and properly prepared along the way.
