Association Express

America’s most unique trade show!

Attention C.V.B.’s, D.M.O. ’s, suppliers, and vendors!

Unlike other industry conferences, The Express Conferences are centered towards maximizing your interactions with the industry’s most active meeting planners and event rights holders. Our proven model brings you and keeps you in front of these high-level decision makers to assure you receive the highest Return on your Time and Money Investment.  Our unique format is focused around limiting attendance to assure a 2 to 1 ratio of sellers vs. buyers and from this enhancing the relationship building opportunities including quality 8-10 minute appointments, multiple casual social functions and abundant interaction opportunities over the course of four days.

Key Highlights:

  • Accommodations Included!!!
  • All meals included!!!
  • 2:1 Buyers to planners’ ratio (between 25-30 planners)
  • 2 waves of 1 on 1 appointments, eliminating education or breakout sessions
  • Transportation to and from local airport.
  • Opening Night Welcome Dinner
  • Community Service project
  • Activity day – each attendee can choose one of several options.
  • Team Building
