ACCESS-EDPA Annual Convention and Supplier Showcase

The economy has altered the exhibit and event industry forever. Budgets are in flux. Clients are under pressure to deliver. Procurement is everywhere. We all look back over the last few decades and I can’t remember a year that changed our business as much as 2010--which means that 2011 is literally going to be a game-changer. Reminds us all of the ancient proverb: "May you live in interesting times."

Exhibit and event companies have never been under more pressure to change--change their companies, their offerings, their competencies. There is a reinvention happening, and those that change will win. Those that don’t… will lose.

The EDPA is thrilled to invite you to our annual ACCESS event, the only executive conference focused on insights and ideas for growing exhibit and event companies. Join hundreds of your peers from around the world for a few days of industry immersion. This year’s agenda, framed around the concept of “change,” will give you access to leading thinkers from around the industry presenting on top trends and changes and business management and growth topics.

Our “Change Is” track serves up overviews on all the top 2011 trends, from social media and technology to brand pavilions, systems trends, expansion channels and more. Our “Getting Down to Business” track focuses on the critical day-to-day business subjects that keep us all up at night--such as managing cash flow, contracts, building better sales pipelines, and getting paid. A “Worldwide” track provides content for overseas attendees and domestic exhibit companies. And our first-ever Breakfast Roundtables will provide conversations on the usual top
