Snippets From The Show
"Having an offsite location helps with the movement of traffic. Most importantly, it's to capture the shipments and the weight coming into that venue and or that event." - Martin Laurel"Choosing a company that understands conventions and the process is number one. Number two, understanding your target date so you're not there too early or too late, because that'll cost you money." - Martin Laurel
