One of many brilliant experiences GES has planned for attendees to engage and learn
GES, a global full-service provider for live events, invites International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) Expo! Expo! attendees to engage with the GES team in a myriad of experiences. GES recognizes the pressure that show organizers feel to bring the next big idea, and GES has created a space to spark new ideas – welcome to the Idea Gallery in booth #1127. Attendees are invited to take GES’ Genius Survey and find out their genius/artist type – a wild child like Warhol, part art and science like da Vinci or analytical and imaginative like Einstein. From there, attendees will enjoy a creative juice and design a terrarium, based on their genius/artist type.
While visiting GES’ booth, guests will also learn about GES Project Central, the only event management platform that empowers show organizers to seamlessly manage every element of an event – before, during and after the show – all from one centralized portal. GES Project Central builds on the core functionality of its predecessor, GES Connect, and adds robust functionality that truly enables event planning at your fingertips. Optimized for laptop, tablet or mobile devices with customized views for pre/post show and at show, it brings the entire team together to help streamline communications, reduce errors, and save time.
“Whether planning a large global exhibition or a smaller regional event, GES brings bright ideas and the latest technology, through GES Project Central, to achieve meaningful results,” said GES Chief Sales Officer Jeff Quade.
