In 2021, IAEE was honored to be gifted the Request-for-Proposal (RFP) templates from Larry Kulchawik. Larry’s goal is to continue to give back to the industry and share his love of international exhibitions. IAEE will continue his legacy of providing this content to the industry. These RFP templates have been developed to enhance communication between international exhibit suppliers and manager organizers seeking a proposal for an international trade show event. Nearly all exhibit supplier companies worldwide understand English; however, not all words and terms used may be clearly understood in other languages and countries. A knowledgeable exhibit service partner will advise the trade show manager about regulations, customs and exhibit design differences when doing a trade show in their country. Understand and respect what is different from country to country to ensure a successful event.
RFPs are available in various languages and can be found in the IAEE KnowledgeHub.
The highly anticipated white paper provides enhanced information for consideration by exhibition organizers when planning for and producing an exhibition during a pandemic.

In 2014 the DOL formally moved Meetings, Events and Exhibitions Management into a separate industry sector, further validating the exhibitions management as a “career of choice”.
