Competition Honors Excellence in Exhibitions and Events Marketing Materials
The International Association of Exhibitions and Events™ (IAEE) announces the results of its annual Art of the Show Competition. The winners were selected for their creative use of several essential marketing elements needed to promote exhibitions and events. The winning entries will be featured in a gallery style display at Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition to be held 28-30 November 2017 in San Antonio, Texas.
“The Art of the Show Competition provides a nice overview of how the industry is developing because marketing touches on all aspects of any show,” noted IAEE President and CEO David DuBois, CMP, CAE, FASAE, CTA. “We are able to see what’s hot and what is resonating in trade shows since Art of the Show is the only marketing competition specifically targeted to the exhibitions and events industry.”
The Art of the Show competition recognizes excellence in promotional materials for the exhibitions and events industry. It includes 15 different categories of competition, spanning three show sizes. The entries are judged by an independent panel of judges who score the entries based on each category’s criteria. Each year, IAEE presents a Best of Show award, which is the highest scoring entry across the entire competition.
This year’s Best of Show winner is the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association for its New York International Auto Show entry in the Social Media Campaign: Over 200,001 nsf category.
