(pictured right) about his company and how they are helping the industry keep things simple, a mantra that seems to work in today’s tough economic times. As I continued our conversation it became apparent that David understands the convention and trade show industry and why not, he has a little experience under his belt. The website gives us a peek into David and his background and just how well he knows the convention, meeting, and trade show industry:
David began his trade show career in the fall of 1985 right from college. 3000 shows in over 200 cities in 30 plus states, several business ventures in several fields and dozens of industry associations later, David is focusing his nearly two decades of trade show and special event experience on making this industry all it can be via streamlining and simplifying many daily cumbersome and traditionally expensive tasks via proven every day technology.
He has past, present and current affiliations with IAEM, ESCA, ASAE, IASE, OASE, MPI, HSMA, ISES, ARA, IAAM, and multiple CVB™s around the country. After a 7-year leadership role which culminated into the ‘Chairman of Ohio Va lley Chapter of the International Association of Exposition Managers (IAEM)’, David was recently selected to the IAEM Services Board. Currently, he serves on the IAEM Services Board and is charged with the product/partner development committee. At IAEM™ Expo Expo in 2004, he was awarded the prestigious Merit Award. In 2005, Dave will serve as Treasurer for the Services Board.
