Who’s On Your Crew? Nominate an I&D ACE

ACE Awards logo no year

Exhibit City News magazine is proud to honor the men and women on your crew with the first national awards honoring I&D, contractors and laborers who make the tradeshows and events HAPPEN!

ECN’s I&D ACE Awards are for those who bring excellence to the show floors and exhibit houses. I&D Aces are to be recognized for their dedication to company, customer, facility, union and co-workers—for going above and beyond with their hard work, loyalty and dedication.

ECN ACE honorees (and the company that nominated them) will receive a plaque at a regional celebration, editorial coverage in ECN‘s print magazine, website, social media and e-newsletter, and will also receive a short guest spot on ECN‘s upcoming soon-to-be-named podcast debuting in 2023!

Step 1: Select a Category

If you’re nominating someone for more than one category/award, you will be charged a separate entry fee for each category entered. Aces may nominate themselves – or be nominated by their employer, union, facility or by a co-worker.
