At this year’s American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) event, our exhibition management team transformed a 24,565 sq. ft. hotel ballroom into an experience.
We used over 15,000 lbs of materials for the show. Handling was mainly done through placing the materials on pallet jacks and transporting them via forklifts.
In preparing to create the miniature soccer field inside the exhibit hall, our team laid 5,000 feet of Visqueen material to cover and protect the flooring and carpet.

The American Youth Soccer Association holds tri-section meetings regularly throughout the year. Their first section meeting in 2012 was held at the Marriot Hotel in Anaheim, CA.
As a relatively small show with only 45 exhibitors, the AYSO event required design elements that were both visually pleasing as well as cost-effective. This 9 x ½ meter entrance unit was made from foamcore and served to set a grand tone for the small yet important show.
The floor was divided into several parts—the exhibit hall itself, multiple rooms for breakout sessions and a reception hall in the lobby. AYSO also hosted a silent auction featuring the items on the high tables throughout the event.
SCORE, the official uniform provider for AYSO, had a 50 x 40 feet booth featuring apparel, breakout tables and video stations promoting their latest gear.
As a unique addition to the exhibit hall, a 50 x 100 feet miniature soccer field was constructed. Coaches and show personnel hosted engaging attendee activities on the field throughout the day.
Successfully servicing more than 45 exhibitors during the three-day event, GES and AYSO started off 2012 with a great show.

About Us

Overview of GES

Our mission is to create the world’s most meaningful and memorable experiences for marketers, exhibition organizers and event attendees.

Everyone at GES works hard to ensure that everything we do revolves around our clients’ needs and goals.

We understand that clients need a marketing partner that is effective and efficient. In response, in early 2010 we brought seven of the best face-to-face marketing companies under the GES brand to create the largest one-stop provider of exhibition and event services. From marketing strategy to creative and logistics management, clients benefit from our comprehensive in-house solutions that engage attendees, save valuable time and drive superior results.

We are proud of our comprehensive offerings, and we are committed to providing service that is on time and right the first time.

With 58 offices worldwide, we are everywhere our clients need us to be. And while we are a global company, we act local. GES community involvement programs ensure we’re giving back and doing the right thing—for our clients and our communities.

Now more than ever, it’s important to work with a stable partner. GES is proud to be a division of Viad Corp (NYSE:VVI)—a financially secure, publicly traded company—which means we offer stability, transparency and the resources necessary to invest in new technologies and services to support our clients’ programs.

Fact is, we’ve structured our entire company around our clients’ needs, from what we do and where, to how we do it and why. Exhibits,  events, exhibitions, promotional tours, branded environments, holiday décor,  and retail solutions —we’ve been helping clients harness the power of live experiences for 70 years.

Backed by the financial stability of Viad and powered by the passion of 3,000 committed employees, we are focused on one thing: our clients’ success.
