GES Expands to Better Serve Your International Needs
This is an exciting year for GES. Earlier this year GES acquired leading United Kingdom exhibition contractor Melville and exhibition registration and data services provider CTS. With this strategic acquisition, the GES Worldwide Network is positioned to provide seamless international service to you and your exhibitors. GES will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions that benefit you and your exhibitors, our employees and our shareholders.
This issue of Show Business highlights the GES Worldwide Network. GES is the only official services contractor to offer you and your exhibitors' one company to seamlessly handle all of your exhibition needs in the United States, Canada and Europe. We have the experience to plan and execute successful shows that are simple, safe and worry-free.
Also highlighted in this issue is GES' ongoing commitment to Green Steps. GES has been dedicated to seeking environmental solutions long before "Green" became a hot topic, and we continue to raise the bar by seeking out environmental solutions that make sense for the company, our customers and the environment.
I'm proud of the Green Steps that GES has taken since we began recycling carpet in 1990. We are committed to increasing our use of environmentally responsible products whenever possible, and we are working with vendors to encourage the development and availability of more eco-friendly alternatives which are also cost effective.
The more than 2,000 full-time employees who comprise the GES Worldwide Network appreciate your business and we look forward to planning and executing your successful show.
Sincerely,

Kevin Rabbitt
President and CEO |
