In his session entitled “Sustainable Exhibitor Challenge,” Bowman co-presented with Paul Salinger, GMIC’s president-elect and Oracle’s vice president of marketing. Bowman discussed the unique opportunities exhibit producers bring to the overall challenge of sustainable meetings and corporate marketing.
