Trade Show Blog

Kevin Carty, VP Classic Exhibits

Say goodbye to February! Come Monday we will be three days into March already.

What a crazy first two months of the year it has been. And, we’re only two short weeks away from all of us descending on Las Vegas.

I look forward to seeing you there. Classic is winding up the final touches to our booth as well as several vendor exhibits. I have to say, this will be the best group of exhibits we have ever brought to EXHIBITOR. Everything from a modified 20 ft. SEGUE for PRG to a fully custom build for EliteXPO. Both are “must sees” as you walk the floor.

Along with those two, we are once again building much of EXHIBITOR Media’s booth. Wait until you see the magazine cover in large format on the show floor! Gonna be SuperNova big. 🙂

And of course there is the Classic Exhibits 20 x 30. It’s a special design this year. It is a version of a design for which we are a finalist in this year’s EXHIBITOR Magazine 2014 Awards Night Celebration.

Have you reserved your seat yet for the Awards Gala?

In the meantime, March looks like it’s going to be every bit as busy as January and February. So buckle up and let’s enjoy the ride together.

Have a great weekend with your families.
