ARLINGTON, Va. -- Dick Vitale, college basketball analyst for ABC Sports and ESPN, will officially kick off the 8th annual Electronic House Expo (EHX) Spring 2007 with a keynote address on Thursday, March 8, at the Orange County Convention Center. Produced by EH Events & Education and sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association's (CEA[R]) TechHome Division, EHX Spring 2007 runs March 6-10, in Orlando, Florida.

Vitale will discuss "Winning In The Game of Life" while sharing his secrets for tackling the problems of business head-on, with the boundless optimism and lessons learned from the sports world. Vitale uses a combination of humor and inspiration drawn from his career as a sixth grade teacher, a college and professional basketball coach and his years as one of the best known network basketball analysts in history.

To add to the excitement of the show, EHX will debut "EHX Late Night" on Friday, March 9, at 9 p.m. at the Orange County Convention Center with an exclusive Bruce Hornsby concert. All EHX Attendees can obtain complimentary tickets to this performance.

Hornsby, a three-time Grammy winner who has sold more than 10 million albums since his multi-platinum debut in 1986, draws from a wide array of influences including jazz, pop, classical, bluegrass, rock and vaudeville. His nine albums include The Way It Is (1986), Scenes From The Southside (1988), A Night On The Town (1990), Harbor Lights (1993), Hot House (1995), his double CD Spirit Trail (1998), his double live collection Here Come The Noisemakers (2000), and Big Swing Face (2002) and the recently released Halcyon Days.

"The Dick Vitale keynote will be a fun and informative presentation that can help generate new ideas for the world's leading custom electronics companies that come to EHX to launch new products and make business deals," said Jason Oxman, vice president of communications for CEA. "And the Bruce Hornsby concert at EHX Spring will provide some great entertainment for all attendees."
