IAEE Unveils 20 Under 30 Honorees to Be Recognized at Expo! Expo! 2017
The International Association of Exhibitions and Events has selected this year’s honorees of its 20 Under 30 recognition program, which gives young professional exhibitions and events organizer members the opportunity to experience Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition, on tap Nov. 28-30 in San Antonio, Texas.
IAEE believes that by recognizing and elevating these young leaders, the evolution and distinction of the exhibitions and events industry will be fostered around the globe, according to association officials.
In addition to receiving a complimentary full registration to Expo! Expo! and lodging for three nights, honorees will be recognized throughout the annual meeting and formally at the Nov. 30 IAEE Annual Networking Luncheon and Awards Presentation.
“IAEE’s 20 Under 30 program provides a great opportunity to young professionals who may not be able to attend Expo! Expo! otherwise,” said IAEE Executive Vice President and COO Cathy Breden, CMP, CAE.
She added, “Likewise, it allows us to nurture YPs with resources they can apply to keep our industry strong as they become future leaders. It is definitely a two-way relationship that benefits both sides.”
The 20 Under 30 program provides selected honorees with not only industry and leadership education for professional growth in the exhibitions and events industry, but also lifelong connections with fellow honorees and attendees.
