INDUSTRY NEWS
BOB MOORE INDUCTED INTO CONVENTION INDUSTRY COUNCIL HALL OF LEADERS Bob Moore, Executive VP Sales, Corporate Accounts for Freeman, was inducted into the Convention Industry Council’s Hall of Leaders at ceremonies last night in Las Vegas, along with four other industry leaders.

The five individuals were selected from a group of nominees representing the most outstanding leaders and innovators in the industry. The honorees were inducted at the 2007 Hall of Leaders Gala December 11 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Freeman is the only organization to have five of its employees inducted into the CIC Hall of Leaders since the honor was created in 1985.

TSE to Launch the Trade Show Executive I-Show™ with iCongo Trade Show Executive magazine, the leading magazine for trade show and event executives, and iCongo Live, the leading provider of online events, have announced an alliance to produce the trade show industry’s first interactive directory of resources and industry vendors, the Trade Show Executive I-Show™ in April 2008.
“More than a directory but not a face-to-face event, TSE’s I-Show™ is a new business platform that enables show executives to access rich information about venues and service firms in a way that has never been available to trade show executives before,” said Darlene Gudea, VP/publisher & editor of Trade Show Executive. “We are very excited to work with iCongo Live who offers one of the best software platforms to make this event a success.” Ranging from a personalized video greeting by a CVB president or a virtual tour of a convention center, Gudea said the content within each exhibitor’s booth is limited only by their imagination.
