Dennis Miller & James Carville Headline PACK EXPO 2012 Lecture Series

PMMI, the owner and producer of PACK EXPO International 2012 (McCormick Place, Chicago; October 28–31) announced the speakers at the 2012 edition of the PACK EXPO Lecture Series: Dennis Miller and James Carville.

This year’s PACK EXPO Lecture Series will prove to be a spirited discussion between Miller and Carville in their first ever joint speaking engagement.

Dennis Miller is one of America’s premier comedy talents, and currently can be seen and heard on “The O’Reilly Factor” and his own syndicated radio program, “The Dennis Miller Show.” In recent years, Miller has raised his profile as a political commentator, with “Dennis Miller,” a talk show on CNBC. In the late 1980s, his talents were spotlighted in the very popular “Weekend Update” segments on Saturday Night Live, and he received five Emmy Awards for his HBO series, “Dennis Miller Live.”

On the other side of the aisle, James Carville, “The Ragin’ Cajun” perhaps most widely known for bombastic, enthusiastic, shoot-from-the-hip, no-holds-barred political commentary delivered with quick wit and a Southern drawl.  His resume includes advisor to President Bill Clinton during his administration.

Carville is a frequent political commentator and contributor on CNN and a Professor of Practice at Tulane University in New Orleans, where he lives with his wife, Mary Matalin, former advisor to both George W. and George H.W. Bush, and their children.

“We’ll be barely a week away from the 2012 Presidential election,” says PMMI president & CEO Charles D. Yuska. “No matter which way you vote, this pair of pundits will offer unique perspectives on the elections and the issues in the national spotlight.”

Miller and Carville will present their views of the 2012 elections and take questions from the audiences.
“It’s an opportunity for anyone looking for perspective on — and some good laughs over — the politics of 2012,” Yuska adds.

The PACK EXPO Lecture Series launched with General Colin Powell speaking at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2011.

“The purpose of the PACK EXPO Lecture Series is to provide a thought-provoking and entertaining event for exhibitors and attendees,” Yuska says. “And this year’s event will certainly do just that.”
Tickets for the PACK EXPO Lecture Series with Dennis Miller and James Carville will be available online at www.packexpo.com , and cost $125 per person ($100 per person for groups of 10).
