Greenbuild International Conf/Expo: Why a TSNN Finalist? Because it’s truly a one-of-kind conference that not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. Built on making the world a better place through sustainable building and design, Greenbuild also focuses on creating better communities through resilience and social equity. Their insight into choosing New Orleans (a city that exemplifies a message of resiliency) to support the community and their sustainable efforts to rebuild the city says it all!

International Vision Expo East: Why a TSNN Finalist? Because of their exceptional customer service efforts towards their exhibitors (talk about visionary)! They increased Exhibitor ROI by creating the Customer XPERT Program: A concierge service provided free-of-charge to exhibitors. They deployed "XPERT's" to answer questions, address issues, solve problems, download apps and offer business value by gaining an understanding of customer's goals and working to provide a solution to meet those needs. Results? For those who indicated that they used an XPERT (83%); 34% say they are more likely to re-new their booth space next year as a result of having the customer XPERT's available (64% are as likely). Additionally, those who indicated that they used an XPERT had higher overall show satisfaction (11 points higher) than those that did not - Whoa! Click HERE to read more and vote.
LA Auto Show Press & Trade Days: Why a TSNN Finalist? Because of how responsive they were to the changing "mobile" technology landscape within their industry & the strong partners they were able to leverage in order to break records & be one step ahead. They took brave, major steps to transform their business model & role in the industry. Results? The show's 2014 Press & Trade Days set several records including a 13.5% increase in industry attendees (19.7k attendees) & 65 vehicle debuts (34 of them were global debuts). Print, broadcast, online, & other media from over 60 countries produced 35.3k news stories; WOW! Click HERE to read more and vote.
LIGHTFAIR International: Why a TSNN Finalist? Because of their unprecedented success overall (LFI 2015 registration grew to 29,900, a 15% gain over the previous record set in 2014, with representatives from 89 countries). They broke all registration and trade-show records with double-digit growth marking the largest staging in its 26-year history. They're obviously shining some "light" on important products & topics! We like the way they think, introducing their new event that drew a large crowd: Women in Lighting: An Open Dialogue (talk about a lightbulb idea)! Click HERE to read more and vote.
Offshore Technology Conference: Why a TSNN Finalist? Because of how they thought "out of the box" with their speakers and sessions - very inspirational, innovative and timely (many different perspectives which were extremely motivating). Thought provoking ideas were shared including a focus on the important use of data to drive decisions. They know how to shake things up to keep their attendees highly engaged within a tough, ever changing industry. They overcame global challenges to meet the needs of incredible individuals.
