The summit featured plenty of networking including a murder mystery luncheon of who done it and lessons from a Chicago mixologist on how to create your own summer cocktail, and an awards-show afterparty in the Hyatt Regency Chicago ballroom sponsored by Ungerboeck Software.
The most exciting part of the summit was the Fastest 50 Awards ceremony, which honors trade shows that established notable growth during the previous year. This year IAVM’s VenueConnect annual conference and tradeshow was honored in three categories of Fastest Growing Tradeshows. IAVM was ranked 23rd in Square Footage growth, 27th in Number of Exhibitors growth, and 8th in Attendance growth. Congratulations to our amazing team at IAVM Headquarters on being honored for your hard work and dedication.
