Program Description: If you’re like many exhibition organizers, you may be finding that exhibitors have begun confirming their participation in trade shows later and later. This presents a number of challenges for your exhibitors – as they’ll need to do all of the same work, but in a much shorter time frame – as well as for you (for example, you’ll have to repeat yourself a lot more than you would otherwise).
