February 19, 2014
Trade Show News Network is thrilled to unveil the TSNN Trade Show Venue Directory (http://venuedirectory.tsnn.com/), with more than 400 exhibit halls, convention centers and other facilities with exhibit space listed.
Complimentary to all users, the TSNN Trade Show Venue Directory is a comprehensive guide that is designed to assist trade show organizers, meetings and event planners to find the perfect venue for their events.
“Congratulations to TSNN and the launch of their new venue directory,” said David DuBois, president and CEO of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events.
He added, “As exhibition industry professionals, it is important that we provide easy to use and detailed descriptions and resources so that the show organizers and important supplier partners can more efficiently work closely together to plan and execute successful exhibitions and events.
Sorted by several search categories, users of the TSNN Trade Show Venue Directory (http://venuedirectory.tsnn.com/) also have the ability to side-by-side compare different facilities based on different criteria, including exhibit and meeting space, and submit RFPs directly to a venue.
Show organizers, such as Tina Jones, director of conventions for the Helicopter Association International, look at a variety of venues across the U.S. for their shows.
This year, HAI HELI-EXPO 2014 will be held in Anaheim, but since it rotates around the country, Jones said the TSNN Trade Show Venue Directory was “a time-saving resource with so much information on one site!”
The directory has basic listings that are complimentary for all venues and enhanced listings available that have the ability to include photos, video, venue description, social media links, amenities, surrounding airport, restaurants and hotel information and much more.
“A comprehensive reference resource of this scope and scale goes from essential to imperative instantly,” said Bob Schuler, vice president of the Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart.
He added, “The Directory serves the needs of meeting planners and venue managers equally and efficiently in ways no other vehicle can touch.”
If your venue is not on the list and you would like to have it added or if you are an existing venue or a planner and find information that needs to be updated, please contact venuedirectory@tsnn.com.
“Trade Show News Network is committed to providing valuable data for the industry,” said Rachel Wimberly, TSNN president and Editor-in-Chief. “We designed the TSNN Trade Show Venue Directory to be the go-to place to find the perfect venue for show organizers’ events.”
