About Us

We run more than 300 special events a year, each of which mimics the many complex facets of trade show production on a smaller scale.  All these shows and events bring buyers and sellers together.

We have full-time employees dedicated to all aspects of show management, including construction, renovation, general management, operations, sales and leasing, marketing and promotion, and labor management.
