We felt like they were a partner in the success of the event.

Boys and Girls Clubs of America National Conference - Atlanta Marriott Marquis

The onsite build went incredibly smoothly, I was barely required in the expo hall and there were minimal issues across the whole event.

Unleash America - Caesars Forum Conference Center

Everything ran smoothly, and when I called for assistance the GES team was on it! They are pleasant and wonderful to work with.

Alida Roberts - Meeting Planner Jacob K. Javits Center

Our GES team took the extra steps and time to connect with me personally and professionally, creating trust. They went above and beyond helping me create the vision I had for this year's event.

Global Pet Expo - Orange County Convention Center

GES seems to be one of very few trade show companies that still offer reasonable pricing and excellent service to the small to medium sized shows without compromising quality and availability.

Company 20, Entertainment – Caesars Palace

GES has the friendliest people who are easy to work with and actually care about the success of our meeting.

SCAI Scientific Sessions – Long Beach Convention Center

Great communication, supportive, and has a solid workfront and work flow for graphics.

The ASPHO Conference – Seattle Convention Center

GES is the best in the business. A true extension of our team and colleagues I rely on and trust. They are always up to date on the latest in the industry, best practices and professionals at offering better or new ways of doing something. They are shining stars in the industry and I would want anyone to experience this same success by having them on the team.

NATIA: Annual Training Conference & Technological Exhibition - Rhode Island Convention Center

Experiences that build a better tomorrow.
