The Association For Exhibit & Event Professionals 2009
I have traveled to Chicago recently and had a chance to see McCormick Place up close and personal and I may get yet another chance to speak at an event there coming up in July. The Association for Exhibit & Event Professionals is coming up on July 21-23, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois.
So what exactly is TSEA? They have been around almost as long as I have which if you ask my daughter is like an eternity. Their site better describes them:
"Since 1966 the Trade Show Exhibitors Association has provided knowledge to marketing and management professionals who use face to face marketing to promote and sell their products, as well as to those who supply them with products and services. We provide you with: Education, Advocacy, Promotion, Communication, Service, and member only discounts on a variety of products and services. Our programs, services and publications are designed to help you gain the necessary edge in exhibiting success. TSEA is led by a Board of Directors comprised of your professional peers, so you can always be assured that we understand your needs. Our tradeshow knowledge will help enable you to get the best return on your investment when exhibiting.
TSEA works aggressively on behalf of you, the EXHIBITOR, to insure that your rights are being protected and your opinions are not being ignored. We are the VOICE of exhibitors around the globe."
I want to speak about social media there and did the same or similar talk in Miami at the first of the year. Chicago is a nice town and I like the facilities there at McCormick Place. I may even get a chance to stay again at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place and that might be the best part.

I would be excited to hear your thoughts on Social Media. It is the wave fo the future! It can go a long way to bridging generational gaps in clientele and, for the most part, it is free advertising!
I really enjoy your articles. I read them every morning to start off my day. They have some great insight in our industry. If you have time during the show it would be great to meet.
Thanks
Matt
Scott I will be doing a series regarding Exhibits and Events and social media or Conventions and social media soon. Thanks for commenting and yes social media is going to change the way that we both market and advertise our conventions and trade shows and it is going to change how they are seen and attended as well.
Glad we can help you get your day started Matthew. In some articles it is how I start my day as well getting them up while I am inspired at 1:00 a.m.
You guys can find my contact info at http://www.onebyonemedia.com and if you want to make an appointment to meet I would love to! I will let you know where I will be!
