Exhibit City News is the only monthly newspaper covering the meeting, convention and tradeshow industries with readership of more than 12,000 industry professionals. Together with the support of industry friends, founder and publisher, Don Svehla, began putting his 20+ years of tradeshow experience down on paper. The result was the first issue of Exhibit City News in June 1994, a small 8-page newsletter for Chicago's tradeshow workers. By 1996, the newsletter had grown into a 32-page national newspaper bearing the tagline "Uniting the Nation's Tradeshow Community". Thanks to reader loyalty and demand, ECN went from a bi-monthly publication to a monthly publication in 1999.

Exhibit City News has a growing staff that includes both journalists and industry professionals from across the nation. Thought-provoking analysis and breaking industry news keep readers abreast of the issues important to their professional lives, including regional, national and international features as well as updates on association activities.

Exhibit City News celebrates ten years with a new look! We introduced our new logo at our annual Open House on October 31, 2003 at ECN headquarters in Las Vegas, NV and on our November 2003 issue.

With your paid membership in the EACA, receive a free copy of the EXhibit City News every month. In addition EACA members qualify for preferred rates on display advertising.

We are online: Exhibitcitynews.com gives both readers and advertisers added value and has become recognized as one of the most visited sites in our industry today.

DON’T LET THE ANVIL FOOL YOU. I don’t smelt iron or forge steel or get stuff really hot then hammer it. Nope. It’s just part of my corporate I.D. Plus it’s my last name. Cool, huh? Kind of a branding double whammy. I can do it for you, too. But your ad, logo or brochure probably won’t have an anvil on it. Unless you really want one, that is. Lisa Smith, Art Director.
