Each year, trade show and corporate event marketing professionals from all over the world converge in Las Vegas, Nevada. These talented planners, productivity masters, and face-to-face marketing experts come together for EXHIBITORLIVE. This event is where they network, walk the show floor to see the latest and greatest offerings from exhibit houses and spend time in the classroom honing their skills.
The Exhibit Concepts team also converges upon Vegas, with our staff manning the company’s booth (1001!) and spending their time in the classroom, too. Members of our leadership team will be on hand to meet with visitors in a one on one setting during show hours.
While several ECI employees will be students, three of our leaders will be teachers. These talented, experienced leaders have some captivating topics to share with attendees.
Ellen Campbell-Kaminski, our VP of Sales and Marketing, will be leading two sessions at EXHIBITORLIVE:
