EXHIBITOR Show 2013 - It's Showtime!: Word on the Street — March 11th thru March 15th

Word on the Street by Kevin Carty

It’s Showtime!

EXHIBITOR opens on Sunday March 17 with sessions and meetings. Then the show floor opens Monday morning at 11:30 am.

We have been onsite since Friday morning setting up the Classic Exhibits Inc. booth (#1637). James Sharpe and Nate LaBruzza from Classic Rentals have done a stellar job with the amazing help of the Trade Show Supply I&D team to get the booth “show ready.” Great work men!

Classic Exhibits Inc. will be showing not just the large build that is our main structure, but also four 10 x 10 exhibits, multiple iPad kiosk solutions (see the New Product Showcase and VOTE), and internal lighting components for lighting SEG fabric graphics on ClassicMODUL profiles.

It really is a beautiful presentation. Follow the Classic Exhibits Facebook Page for photos all week.

While in Vegas for the week, please attend these great events/meetings.

1. The Optima Graphics Hospitality function Monday at 3:30 pm after the show breaks. It’s a great chance to support our great graphic partner as well as catch-up with old friends.

2. The EDPA Portable/Modular/Hybrid Summit on Tuesday at 3:45 pm in the back right area of the show hall near Concessions. Learn what’s happening in our growing segment of the industry.

3. The Classic Exhibits/Eco-Systems Sustainable Distributor Hospitality Suite on Tuesday from 3:30 – 7 pm in one of the beautiful Vista Suites at Mandalay Bay. Please stop by the booth Monday or Tuesday to get the suite number. We’re looking forward to seeing you  there for some good old fashioned networking amongst friends in the Classic Exhibits Network.

Like I said — It’s Showtime! Travel safe and see you all soon.

Be well.
