The International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE, formerly IAEM) has confirmed that it will hold its Expo! Expo! Annual Meeting & Exhibition in New Orleans 6-9 December 2010, with an attendance of 2,500.
IAEE`s Board of Directors announced its intention to return to New Orleans with its Annual Expo! Expo! shortly after Hurricane Katrina and was the first meetings and events industry organization to do so. IAEE last met in New Orleans in 1994.
The IAEE meeting and exhibition proves that convention business has returned to New Orleans and will continue to grow. The New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau (NOMCVB), along with the Morial Convention Center, is delighted to host this meeting and is confident that the city of New Orleans will provide the same flawless service noted by attendees of the Meeting Professionals International PEC-North America held here in January.
The New Orleans CVB is thrilled that IAEE has chosen to hold their 2010 meeting in New Orleans, said Nikki Nicholson, vice president of convention sales for the NOMCVB. Their dedication to the city is a testament to the IAEE organization. Their attendees will enjoy all New Orleans has to offer-great food, exciting entertainment and world-class exhibition facilities, the last in which IAEE is the international expert.
It`s always an honor to host a conference of our industry peers, said Jill Alexander, director of sales and marketing of the Morial Convention Center-New Orleans. This is an outstanding opportunity for our entire hospitality industry, and we look forward to doing our part to make sure IAEE has an outstanding experience in our city.
New Orleans has always played a very important role in the exhibitions and events industry and IAEE is very pleased to have the opportunity to bring the key organizers of the industry back to the city, comments IAEE President Steven Hacker. As is always the case when we visit a venue, many of our members discover, and many rediscover, the new business opportunities that the site provides to them. We know this will especially be the case in New Orleans.
