From our entire staff and all the advertisers that make the information in this issue possible … HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It is hard to believe it is 2013. As we go to press, one of the biggest looming pitfalls to a prosperous year is the possibility of falling of the fiscal cliff since it still remains unresolved. This edition features excellent insight from a wide range of industry experts as to where our industry is headed in 2013.
Other January Issue Highlights:
Our month-by-month 2012 Year in Review highlights top stories that made headlines during the year. We also bring you coverage of IAEE Expo! Expo!, held recently in Orlando, and EDPA ACCESS 2012, held in Indian Wells, Calif. This issue also features information on how exhibit builders are adapting to the “new normal” of doing business, as well as three trends to watch for this year in the industry.
We also have interesting pieces on new products and the importance of tradeshow and event security. In addition, this issue includes an article on utilizing custom flooring to highlight exhibits, and what many consider as the industry’s best lineup of columnists.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the Randy Smith Memorial Golf Classic. Once again, the industry came together to aid those in need, including our very own Judy Kackley.
Here’s wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year!
