July 22, 2020 – DALLAS – The Expo Group, an exhibitions and events partner that invests in growth, is announcing several extended contractual deals that signal a belief in the return to live events and trade shows.
“The global pandemic has detrimentally impacted the ability to convene member and customer communities,” says Toby Purdy, Chief Sales Officer for The Expo Group. “Our clients are ready to start Moving Forward Together, as we all look ahead to 2021 and beyond. The Expo Group team is humbled by the trust our clients have shown us, and we join in their optimism for face-to-face trade shows.”
To support the return of trade shows and events, The Expo Group has released tactical health and safety protocols as well as strategic creative resources for professionals grappling with the impact of COVID-19.
