Expo continues to shape the future of events while staying rooted in the values that have defined its journey from day one.
Built on Family. Driven by People.
Expo’s greatest asset is, and has always been, its people. From seasoned veterans to rising stars, team members at Expo are empowered to grow, lead, and thrive. Many began in entry-level roles and have ascended to leadership positions—a testament to the company’s commitment to internal development and long-term careers, not just jobs.

Expo also received the Innovation Award, Leadership Award, and Purpose & Values Award, solidifying its reputation as a purpose-driven industry leader.
Our Mission and Vision
Expo’s growth is intentional and guided by a clear purpose. As stated in the company’s mission:
“To support all companies in showcasing their brand for maximum exposure through innovation, creativity, and flawless planning. We strive to be a company that employees want to work for, vendors want to engage, and customers want to work with.”
That mission is lived out every day through the company’s bold and forward-thinking vision—to remain large enough to be exceptional, yet small enough to be personal. Expo continues to balance growth and agility, offering strategic solutions without sacrificing personal connection.
