Who’s Coming to TSE’s Fastest 50 (as of May 19). Who Will Win an Apple Watch?

TSE STAFF

Oceanside, CA – Trade Show Executive Fastest 50 Awards & Summit in Chicago in three weeks will salute the people who have guided the hottest shows to new heights. This top-tier group includes CEOs, show organizers, vice presidents, group show managers and others who have generated the highest increases of the year in exhibit space, exhibitors and attendance. They come from for-profit companies and trade associations. This year, the industries reflected by the winning shows run the gamut – food, health care, construction, technology, transportation and travel.

The event will be held May 19-21 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.

Delegates will be joined by the heads of leading service contractors, tech providers and venues, including title sponsor Choose Chicago.
