Trade Shows & Exhibitions

We realize that trade shows are a vital part of the financial success of your event. Our team of experts can provide you with the latest trends in marketing and promoting your expo. We will help you design programs that will increase traffic for your exhibitors, thereby ensuring their ongoing support of your event. We will work with you to develop a sponsorship program that will not only allow your vendors the opportunity to market themselves to your attendees, but also provide an additional profit center for you. With our established preferred vendor network, we have access to industry pricing that you will be able to capitalize on. From set-up to tear-down, we are on-site to manage the trade show and ensure a successful outcome.

Preferred Vendor Pricing
As a nationwide company, we maintain access to vendor pricing that the everyday event planner doesn’t. Not only will we be able to obtain the best prices, we will also negotiate your vendor contracts for you, saving you the time and energy.

Vendor-taught Workshops

The primary reasons that vendors attend trade shows is to be able to network and cultivate relationships with the attendees. The one-on-one, face-to-face time that vendors have the opportunity to spend with potential clients is invaluable. Vendor-taught workshops are the perfect instrument for this and a favorite activity of participating vendors.

Sponsorships
Sponsorships are a great way to get your professional associates and partners involved in your event. We will help you find sponsors, create sponsorship packages and ensure that your sponsors are satisfied with their contribution to your event.

Registration
Registration can be one of the most time consuming and complicated parts of planning a large trade show or convention. With our registration programs, we will take that headache away from you and make sure that your guests are signed up and ready for action!

Budget Creation/Management
One of the most crucial aspects of your trade show is your budget. Without the right knowledge and tools, managing your event budget could prove costly and problematic. Let our meeting and event planners take the weight off of your shoulders and help you to create the perfect event for you, all while keeping your budget in tact!
