Tony Romo to Keynote ICSC 2019 RECon

Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, will keynote the ICSC 2019 RECon conference in Las Vegas. The retail conference will take place next week at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, and feature more than 125 exhibitors.

Romo will share his perspective on leadership and sportsmanship, and his unlikely career path to becoming a Pro Bowl football player. Known for his headline grabbing performances on the field, he is now tackling the broadcast stage as the lead NFL Game Analyst at CBS Sports.

ICSC President and CEO Tom McGee says, “Tony’s expertise reaches far beyond the football field, and we’re thrilled to have him keynote RECon to demonstrate how good leadership and a strong work ethic can drive a person to greatness. There’s a lot to learn from perseverance and hard work, and Tony knows this well.”

As part of the event, Romo will take part in a contest giving a RECon attendee the chance to compete head-to-head with the Cowboys’ all-time passing leader. As part of this “competition,” LoopNet, which is sponsoring Romo’s presentation, will make a $50,000 donation to the charity of Romo’s choosing.

Other keynote speakers slated for this year’s RECon include CNBC personality Marcus Lemonis, who will discuss the innovation happening across the industry.
