Last year's IAEM Professional Development Conference & Supplier Showcase in Rosemont exceeded expectations. Professionals in the exhibition and events industry met at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center with a concentrated gathering of more than 200 exhibition industry professionals in attendance. The conference featured strategic educational sessions, intimate networking events, CEM sessions, and the exhibition component, the Supplier Showcase.

This year, education and professional development will continue to be the main focus for this event. The Certified in Exhibition Management (CEM) programming and other educational sessions will provide you with new and creative ideas, and will feature educational programming that is appealing to everyone from rookies to industry veterans. The two networking opportunities, the Real-World Solutions Roundtable Luncheon followed by the Supplier Showcase and Showcase Reception, will also be a strong component. The exhibition element of PDC, the Supplier Showcase, will feature exhibition suppliers and service providers, similar to the exhibition at Expo! Expo! You will enjoy the intimacy of a small group setting and benefit from establishing key relationships. Make sure you make the right move and select the right educational sessions for your strategy to win.
