Exhibitor Testimonials

“We have benefited greatly by meeting the qualified event planners that stopped by our booth. After sponsoring five Red 7 Media events, we have witnessed numerous Best Events attendees turn into current clients.  Best Events does everything they can to make sure we are getting the optimal benefits from our Sponsorship dollars.”

- IML,
Exhibitor



“As a new venue, the Best Events Expo allowed the Craneway Pavilion to connect to top meeting and event planners and led to a major event with a Fortune 100 company just months later. The trade show was very well-run and organized, and fun to attend. We are glad we went–it was worth it many times over!”

- Orton Development
, Exhibitor



“We had so many great conversations with about fifty solid prospects in a five hour period. Between [these] conversations and the mailing list provided afterwards, we expect to make ten to twenty sales with much greater potential beyond that. This should easily provide the return on investment required when you consider making an investment [of] your money, and more importantly, your time.”

- Staten Island Yankees,
Single A-Affiliate of the New York Yankees, Exhibitor
