TSW Fastest 50: Time For the Nominations
-- Tradeshow Week, 4/7/2008
Every trip to Baltimore begins with a single step. That's why Tradeshow Week is now accepting nominations for the 2008 TSW Fastest 50.
Each year, TSW recognizes the 50 fastest-growing trade and consumer shows in the United States and Canada. The 50 winners will be announced in August and the top prize in three categories (consumer shows, trade and association shows) plus the overall fastest-growing will be announced during a weekend of receptions, dinners, an executive-level conference and a black-tie gala in Baltimore Nov. 7-9.
“This is the sixth annual TSW Fastest 50,” said TSW Editor-in-Chief Michael Hart, “and over that time, it has become one of the premiere events in the tradeshow industry. I encourage anybody who has had success with their show over the last few years to enter the competition.”
To qualify as one of the TSW Fastest 50, shows must have grown in net square footage over the previous three years, 2005 through 2007. Biennial or triennial shows may have taken place in 2004. Winners will be calculated with a formula that includes both percentage of growth and actual square footage.

This year's TSW Fastest 50 host hotel will be the new Hilton Baltimore, adjacent to the Baltimore Convention Center and scheduled to open in August with 757 rooms and 60,000 sq. ft. of meeting space.
Saturday's conference and Saturday night's gala will take place at the Hilton. Friday's opening night reception will be at the American Visionary Art Museum and Sunday morning's farewell brunch at Geppi's Entertainment Museum.
