IAEE’s MATSO Council will identify topics relevant to the major trade show organizer that are timely and represent common interests and challenges to the MATSO audience. Central to the MATSO Council culture is ensuring a wide-open exchange of ideas to foster discovering solutions, networking with other senior-level show professionals, guiding new strategies and policies, sharing ideas and making a difference. Each year a MATSO event will be selected to host IAEE-MATSO programming. In addition, programming will take place through webinars and at Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition. A complete schedule of events will be updated as they are identified.
The Major American Trade Show Organizer Council is offering a special Fall program for MATSO community members, which will be hosted by The NACS Show 2021 produced by The Association for Convenience & Fuel Retailing October 6-7, 2021 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
This program is by invitation only for U.S. organizers who have historically produced shows with more than 200,000 NSF or more.
The program will include informal networking and formal discussions with access to The NACS 2021 show floor. Registration for the MATSO Fall Program @ The NACS Show 2021 is FREE but space is limited to the first 30 qualified attendees so register today!
Please note, there is a small room block for MATSO attendees and the link will be provided as soon as details are wrapped up!
In an effort to address opportunities within the major American trade show community, those with shows of 200,000 NSF or larger, IAEE holds monthly MATSO Meets on the last Wednesday of each month at 2:00 PM CT/3:00 PM ET via Zoom unless otherwise noted.
These 90 minute sessions focus on one topic for presentation and discussion by the group.
