TradeshowLogistics has become a Supporting Member of the newly formed Exhibit Industry Council (EIC), an advocacy group established to define and promote exhibitor-focused best practices for trade shows, conventions, and private events. The EIC seeks to unite all industry stakeholders around best practices that increase exhibitor value and validate show metrics, including: exhibitor cost control, standardized show kits, standardized work rules, meaningful show metrics, and safety first.

B.J. Enright, President of TradeshowLogistics, says the objectives of the Exhibit Industry Council reflect TradeshowLogistics’ UNcontractor business model. “The Best Practices outlined by the Exhibit Industry Council have always been business as usual for TradeshowLogistics – full disclosure, pricing transparency and providing exhibitors with better service and lower costs.”
