For the sixth year in row, Trade Show News Network is holding its prestigious and original TSNN Awards program that honors the top fastest-growing shows in attendance and net square footage Nov. 6-8 in Atlanta.

The list of 50 shows that will be feted during the three-day, celebration-filled weekend can be found below and HERE.  

“The Top 50 fastest-growing show winners were chosen by their show’s growth rate between 2012-2014 in attendance and net square footage,” said TSNN President and Editor-in-Chief Rachel Wimberly.

She added, “We are really excited to fete all of the winners for an incredible three-day weekend celebration in Atlanta.”

During the three-day weekend celebration in Atlanta, the top association and for-profit fastest-growing shows in net square footage and top association and for-profit fastest-growing shows in attendance will be celebrated during the TSNN Awards Gala, along with the overall fastest-growing show in each category.

The top 25 winners in net square growth from 2012 to 2014 cover a wide range of industries, such as retail, farming and pets.

The top 25 winners in overall attendance growth from 2012 to 2014 also are a diverse mix of industries, including trucking, labels and roofing.  

The 2015 TSNN Awards event highlights include an opening night reception at the new College Football Hall of Fame. The next day will be a “State of the Industry” session with Megan Tanel, chair of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events, and Rick McConnell, immediate past-chair of the Society of Independent Show Organizers.

There are a few other sessions on tap for the conference, on tap Nov. 7 at the Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart.

The gala awards evening, also at the Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart, will celebrate the 50 fastest-growing shows in attendance and net square footage, as well as a special “Industry Icon Award” honoree and TSNN’s “Best of Show” award, celebrating shows that stand out for their innovation.

In addition, The Expo Group’s “Show Manager of the Year Awards” will be held during the 2015 TSNN Awards and will honor five show managers from different-sized shows in the industry.

Also at this year’s awards, the $5,000 TSNN Student Scholarship will be awarded to someone pursuing a career in the trade show industry. For the third year, the scholarship generously is sponsored by the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority.
