The people, destinations and management tools needed to make decisions on where to site meetings, tradeshows, conferences and events, such as Las Vegas, Chicago or Orlando.

  • A New Place to MEET in Las Vegas Off the Strip
    03/22/2010
    Who knew you could turn an old bank building into a versatile, state-of-the-art meetings and convention venue? After a $25 million, two-and-a-half year renovation project to transform a three-story Bank of America branch into a flexible, high-tech event space, the result is MEET Las Vegas, which made its debut March 16 in downtown Las Vegas.

  • Keep ’Em In the Block
    By Lisa Plummer - 03/22/2010
    Try as they might to lock down the lowest room rates and give their attendees an incentive to book with official hotel partners, most show managers understand there always will be people who book outside the room block. The issue is nothing new, but tight travel budgets and a recession have led more attendees than ever to hunt for cheaper rooms. More
  • Asian Destinations Bounce Back
    By Lisa Plummer - 03/01/2010
    Situated in the Pearl River Delta approximately 37 miles apart, Hong Kong and Macau, China’s two former European colonies – now semi-autonomous, special administrative regions – are very different destinations when it comes to tradeshows. Hong Kong is a well-established tradeshow city, while Macau is a tradeshow destination in its infancy. More
  • San Jose Out of the Exclusives Business
    By Stephanie Corbin - 03/01/2010
    The public-private partnership that manages San Jose, Calif.’s public buildings, including the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, has modified the labor policy it put into place last summer. General service contractors working for trade and consumer shows held in the convention center will be able to contract directly with Teamsters Local 287, instead of only through Team San Jose. More
  • Anchor’s Aweigh in L.A.
    By Rachel Wimberly - 03/01/2010
    Even though the City of Angels is one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the United States, it hasn’t been near the top of the list of cities hosting Tradeshow Week 200 shows in a few years. As of Feb. 15, the main issue that had plagued Los Angeles and the people who are tasked with selling it – the lack of an anchor hotel – is resolved. More
  • Earls Court Down?
    By Gary Tufel - 02/08/2010
    Speculation that London may lose one of its major exhibition centers went up a notch after a shift in ownership of the historic Earls Court. Capital & Counties, which previously owned a 50-percent interest in the Earls Court & Olympia complex, bought out its partner, EC&O Venues, in a deal that was finalized late last month. More
  • Chicago Unions Fight MPEA Plan
    By Rachel Wimberly - 02/01/2010
    Just two days after a bill was filed in the Illinois General Assembly on behalf of the Metropolitan Pier & Exposition Authority that would overhaul labor practices at Chicago’s McCormick Place and Navy Pier, the unions fired back with a plan of their own calling for a “customer bill of rights” for exhibitors and greater transparency on exhibitor costs.

  • GLM's Housewares Show Moves to New York
    By Joalien Johnson - 01/04/2010
    George Little Management's Gourmet Housewares Show, which collocated with the San Francisco Intl. Gift Fair at San Francisco's Moscone Center last year, will not be held this year. Instead, it will become part of the winter edition of the New York Intl. Gift Fair next year. More
