About TSE - The Special Event

This year it’s all about transformation, change and “events in motion” at TSE, the world’s largest tradeshow and conference for event professionals. There’s the totally new Chicago venue… TSE’s first time ever in the Midwest,-much less Chicago-one of the nation’s top three event cities! This year TSE is also taking huge steps forward to transform itself into a participatory event- with attendees and exhibitors leading the way. Join in the dialogue on the all new Voices of TSE blog, enter a Face book contest to become one of the Faces of TSE, or participate in a tweet-up at the show. It is our hope that TSE 2013 will inspire others to set their “events in motion” as well.
