The EXPOSNaP team will work with show organizers and exhibitors to increase visibility utilizing marketing opportunities available in the EXPOCAD® suite of online responsive design products.
The burden show organizers experience to help exhibitors help themselves is off loaded to the EXPOSNaP team, allowing show management to focus on exhibition floor space sales, while eliminating time constraints and need for more manpower.

EXPOCAD’s continued global growth will be intensified by this acquisition" said Rich Stone, CEO of ACT/EXPOCAD.

We are looking forward to working together and delivering advanced value to our customers.”
