Marie Mowbray, Senior Vice President, Show Operations - Moneyshow

I wanted to say a huge thank you to all the GES team for such a successful and smooth move-in and move-out and organized trade show floor. I have a saying that there is no 'i' in the word 'TEAM' and you proved that last week.

Carol Pupo, Trade Show Manager - Canadian Greenhouse Conference

Having GES in-house made the move-in process a great experience.

Brian Wood, Chief Learning & Events Officer - HFTP

All our staff and attendees have had nothing but great rave reviews/feedback as to how experienced, professional, communicative, and prompt your staff was but most importantly how pleasant and how helpful they all were, and I will reiterate again how attentive each one of them was to our every need. They are top-notch individuals who are very experienced in what they do, and it shows!

Rachelle Lee, Executive Assistant - Imperial Dade Canada

We sincerely appreciate the engagement and professional support from GES. Your contributions played a crucial role in the success of the PDAC Convention. We depend on your collaboration and hope to have a chance to use your expertise in future years.
