Women in Exhibitions 2018

Calling All Women In Exhibitions! This year, we’re planning two ways to make our 2018 EXHIBITORLIVE show experience more accessible and meaningful than ever before. You will not want to miss out on these opportunities to discuss challenges and success strategies, network with peers, and make new contacts you can count on.

Breakfast Meeting

Join your female colleagues in the Exhibition and Event industry at this breakfast meeting on Tuesday morning, February 27, from 8-10 am at Border Grill (Mandalay Bay). Breakfast and roundtable discussions focused on topics such as Vocalizing Your Need for Respect, Wage Gap and Negotiating, Work/Life Balance for Working Moms are sponsored by MirrorShow Management, AccessTCA, and Design Factory. Our special guest speaker Lynette Xanders of Wild Alchemy will address female leadership and entrepreneurship (sponsored by Pinnacle Exhibits).
