8th Annual EXHIBITOR Magazine Portable Modular Awards

Trade Show Blog

For 10 years, Classic Exhibits has been an enthusiastic supporter of EXHIBITOR Magazine’s Portable Modular Awards. This year is the 8th Annual PMA.

You may be wondering how Classic could be a supporter for ten years if the awards are only eight years old. 

For several years, Classic, along with several other portable/modular manufacturers, lobbied EXHIBITOR for an award program that recognized our segment. EXHIBITOR already had multiple design awards but none that recognized portable modular design. EXHIBITOR was receptive to the idea, if we could drum up enough sponsorship support for the award program. That took some time and some convincing, but eventually we twisted enough arms. And in fairness to EXHIBITOR, they lost money on the first PMA but kept the program going. Including this year when sponsorship was undoubtedly challenging. 

We encourage you to checkout all 40 finalists and vote for the People’s Choice Award. Did we mention that we won the People’s Choice Award last year?
