CELEBRATE Design in our Industry: Word on the Street — February 3rd thru February 7th

February 7th, 2014 Mel White COMMENTS

Kevin Carty, VP Classic Exhibits

EXHIBITOR Magazine’s Awards Night Gala

Get excited!!!!!

We have an Awards Night for the first time, complete with networking, dinner, and drinks. It is sanctioned by EXHIBITOR and promises to be quite the gala based on the many conversations I’ve had with the EXHIBITOR team.

Classic Exhibits is VERY PROUD to be a sponsor for this inaugural event. We have several exhibits in the running for awards, along with many Classic distributors and their clients.

Awards include:

  • Exhibit Design Awards
  • Portable/Modular Awards featuring The Zeigler Award
  • Buyers Choice Awards
  • Best of Show EXHIBITOR2014
  • EXHIBITOR Legends H-O-F Inductee
  • Corporate Event Awards
  • All-Star Awards
  • Sizzle Awards

As mentioned before, your ticket to the event includes dinner and drinks, as well as an opportunity to network with colleagues and attendees. What a great evening to bring your clients to celebrate trade shows and the Best of the Best.

I applaud the management team at EXHIBITOR Media Group for embracing and organizing this event to celebrate the beauty, the art, and sheer creativity of what we do as an industry. And I am very excited to see what Justin Hersch and his event production team from Delphi Productions have in store for all the attendees.

For tickets, please follow this link. We will be in attendance and look forward to spending the evening with you.

If Puppies Ran Trade Shows and Events

October 31st, 2013 Mel White 10 COMMENTS

Two months ago, I wrote “If Kittens Ran Trade Shows and Events.” It was meant to be lighthearted and playful. Looking back, I was naive, so naive. The puppy and dog lovers sent me emails within hours. They felt slighted. Why would kittens be better representatives of tradeshows and events than a cute Pekingese, a Beagle, or a Retriever? How could anyone presume to think that kittens were more “tradeshow-ish” than Muffin or Bandit or Killer? Wow! So, in the interest of fairness (and my personal safety) . . .

11 Reasons Why Our Lives Would be Better

No one would be a stranger.

Good behavior would be expected.

You would do whatever it takes to draw a crowd.

Good customers could expect loyalty and gratitude.

Competitors would be discouraged.

Children would be welcome at tradeshows and events.

Mistakes would happen but it would be OK.

For excellent service, just say my name. PLEASE SAY MY NAME!!!!

There would be fresh water and treats in every aisle.

Difficult customers would never be a problem.

AND . . . A pat on the head would make EVERYTHING BETTER.

Please add your own reasons in the Comments Section. And to the ferret, goldfish, and lizard owners, you’re on your own. I’m done. 😉

If Kittens Ran Trade Shows and Events . . .

August 8th, 2013 Mel White 6 COMMENTS

Embrace the concept. In your heart of hearts you wish it were true. Kittens would never charge you drayage. Or require you to hire an electrician to plug in the lights. Never in a million zillion years.

11 Reasons Why Our Lives Would be Better

Shows would last no longer than one (very intense) hour.

Kittens_low

Two hour naps would follow.

We would play nice with others.

Unexpected freakouts would be OK.

Every booth would have toys.

Eating in the booth would be a “no no.”

Being cute and adorable would be a given.

Experience would be respected.

Diversity would be embraced.

We would respect those who feed us (and our families).

AND . . . We would ALWAYS trust our instincts.

Feel free to add more! 😉

Who’s Hot in this Beauty Pageant?

April 17th, 2013 Mel White COMMENTS

Rate the iPad Kiosks in this Pageant?

Below are many of the basic iPad Kiosk shapes (without graphic face plates, halos, and wings to influence your decision). Think of it as the swimsuit competition.

All competitors scored 10’s in the talent portion. MOD-1333 was voted Miss Congeniality.

Vote 1-5 stars for each kiosk. Refresh your browser to see the updated results.
