experient Experient, the source for integrated meeting and event solutions, is the registration and/or housing provider of choice for 7 of the 10 largest trade shows in the country, including the top three shows.

This information was compiled from Trade Show Executive magazine’s recently released first annual ranking of the nation’s 100 largest trade shows, the Gold 100. To be considered for inclusion in the Gold 100, trade shows had to be B-to-B shows that took place in 2007. Rankings were based on net square feet of exhibit space.

The seven shows in the top ten where Experient provides registration and/or housing services are:

  • International CES (#1)
  • International Construction & Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) (#2)
  • MAGIC Marketplace/August (#3)
  • MAGIC Marketplace/February (#6)
  • Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show – part of Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week (AAIW) (#7)
  • National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) annual meeting and convention (#8)
  • International Builders’ Show (#9) 

“It’s exciting to see so many of our customers’ names at the top of the Gold 100 list,” says Rick Binford, CMP, Experient senior vice president. “We work with 36% of the 50 largest shows on the list. Knowing that these recognized industry leaders put their trust in Experient to serve their attendees and help optimize their ROI is extremely gratifying.”

In addition to naming the Gold 100, Trade Show Executive also recognized special award winners at their Award Gala & Summit on Sept. 17 – 19. Several Experient customers were named among these winners including:

Experient’s Terence Donnelly, CMP, vice president, was among those who attended the invitation-only gala where he co-presented a Trending and Spending seminar.

Experient is the source for integrated meeting and event solutions including full-service, customized registration, housing, event management and lead retrieval services. With a vision to perfect the event experience and a mission to help bring people together to drive business, this year Experient will create memorable event experiences at more than 3,300 events attended by more than 2.8 million people  occupying more than 5.5 million room nights.

ehibitorentry I noticed while thumbing through my latest issue of Exhibitor Magazine, yes I still read the real paper magazines that come in the mail, I found out that Exhibitor Magazine is taking entries for its Exhibit Design Awards.  This award is well established in the industry:

Established in 1986, Exhibit Design Awards honor the world’s best trade show exhibit designs. One EDGE Award (for Exhibit Design and Graphic Excellence) and multiple Gold, Silver, and Special Merit Awards are offered in 15 categories.

In addition, the list of judges is impressive:

The 2009 competition will be judged by a variety of design experts, such as Chris Calori, principal, Calori & Vanden-Eynden/Design Consultants; Michael Donovan, founder, Donovan/Green; Peter Dixon, senior partner, creative director, Lippincott Mercer; Graham Hanson, principal, Graham Hanson Design, New York; and Duncan Jackson, managing director, Billings Jackson.

exhibitorpic The entry deadlines are November 24, 2008 for the early birds, and the deadline for the rest of us that love to procrastinate is December 12, 2008.  For further information you may contact Linda Armstrong at larmstrong@exhibitormagazine.com.   I myself wish I could be a fly on the wall so to speak as they unveil the entrants to tis award.  I love to look at innovative exhibit designs and people that are pushing the design envelope as it relates to the types of exhibits we see at trade shows and conventions.  I suppose we will just have to wait with the rest of the world as they tell us the winners in each category in May.  If you are submitting an entry, give me a shout I would love to get an interview and if you win, we’ll make you a feature here as well!
