Global Experience Specialists (GES), a leader in exhibition, event and entertainment experiences, invites Expo! Expo! attendees to experience “The Art and Science of Engagement” by visiting its booth #743.
“Our team looks forward to connecting with attendees and sharing how we provide clients with the art and science they need for true engagement and a measurable return,” said Jeff Quade, chief sales officer, GES. “Attendees will have the opportunity to demo our online tools, Expresso and GES Connect, and be inspired by the interactive experience we’ve created for Expo! Expo! We believe show organizers will leave as excited as we are about the possibilities for their show.”
Throughout the annual meeting and exhibition brought by International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE), GES will share how it generates a competitive edge and measurable return for clients by partnering with them to blend art and science. Examples include:
