New look and features for ShowBiz in 2011

How do you make the Willamette Valley's premier business trade show even better?  We started by giving it a new look, but we were having so much fun, we kept going!

You'll notice the difference the moment you walk into ShowBiz on May 12th.  The all black decor is sleek and modern, but most importantly, the dark backdrop puts your brand in the spotlight.  Black carpet, black drapes, and black table skirts.  Black is the new black. We read that in a design publication and we stuck to it.

A first-class vendor experience

ShowBiz exhibitors tell us all the time how ShowBiz is different. The experience begins as soon as you pull your vehicle into the unloading area.

Dozens of friendly volunteers meet you at the exhibitor check-in station.  Chances are they'll meet you at your vehicle to help you unload!  Businesses, especially the one-person shops, tell us that this is the single most valuable customer service touch they have ever experienced at a trade show of any kind.

At the end of the show, we provide carts (shopping carts and flat carts) for your use.  It's been an exciting day, and you want to go home.  We understand, and we're here to help facilitate a speedy exit for you and your display.  The entire exhibit hall is usually empty within an hour of the show's closing announcement.
