On April 11, venue management companies SMG and Global Spectrum submitted bid proposals for a five-year contract to operate the Miami Beach Convention Center. SMG currently manages the center, but what made the bids unusual was Global Spectrum's announcement it had joined forces with Messe Schweiz, the Swiss company that owns Art Basel Miami Beach, one of the biggest shows at the center.

Four manufacturing trade groups are joining forces to produce a single tradeshow for their industry. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Fabricators and Manufacturers Assn. Intl., American Welding Society and Precision Metalforming Assn. have formed an alliance that will stage the Fabtech Intl. & AWS Welding Show and Metalform.
