CHICAGO – For an industry to prosper, its next-gen leaders must be encouraged. That is at the heart of Trade Show Executive’s Women to Watch program, which was launched in 2018. It identifies the next generation of leaders but will also give them the spotlight at the legendary TSE Gold 100 Awards & Summit being held at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, Calif., Sept. 21-23, 2022.
“Now more than ever, we must recognize the talent in our ranks. For our industry to continue to be successful and thrive well into the future, we must support and reward our staffers who go above and beyond and show real talent and demonstrate leadership qualities. That is exactly the focus of Trade Show Executive’s Women to Watch,” Gabrielle Weiss, Vice President and Editor-in-Chief, Trade Show Executive, said.
This year’s Gold 100 will be like no other, as it will be a reunion as well as a celebration of the fact that the industry is back face-to-face.
