Top Association Show Managers Team With Experient

Twinsburg, OH – Experient, the source for integrated meeting and event solutions, is helping association clients grow their events even in these troubled economic times. In a February article titled “Top Association Show Managers: Masters of Multitasking,” Tradeshow Week magazine identified 15 of the best association show managers in the world, nine of whom hired Experient to help with their last tradeshow. 

“It is a testament to our products and people that more than half of the association managers named in this Tradeshow Week article rely on Experient to provide them with solutions that help to produce excellent tradeshows year after year,” says Rick Binford, CMP, Experient executive vice president, sales and marketing. “We are proud to be a part of their success.” 

In the article, Tradeshow Week says: “As the economy slips into the second year of a global recession, managing a tradeshow is a challenge no matter what.” Experient is helping these shows meet that challenge. 

Jim Pittas, VP, tradeshows with the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute and Tom Shimala, director of technical exhibits with the Radiological Society of North America are two of the top association managers named and both depend on Experient. 

Pittas runs PACK EXPO International – a show with more than 75,000 attendees and exhibitors. Pittas uses Experient to run registration and lead management for the show each year. 

“PACK EXPO International is a large and complicated event. Experient has worked with us for several years and they have consistently provided excellent registration services for our attendees and easy and effective lead retrieval services for our exhibitors,” says Pittas. “We have Experient staff dedicated to us which gives us good continuity and great confidence that we are going to receive the best services available, year after year.” 

Shimala directs exhibit services for the RSNA Scientific Assembly & Annual Meeting, one of the world’s largest international medical meetings, with more than 59,000 attendees. RSNA has been working with Experient for more than two decades. Experient provides integrated registration, housing and lead retrieval services at the RSNA annual meeting. 

“Experient understands us very well and we understand the Experient capabilities. The longstanding relationship we’ve worked on and grown benefits us both,” Shimala says. “RSNA always relies on Experient to stay on top of the technology side of things, especially when it comes to better ways to deliver service.”
