From September 17-19, 2008, Trade Show Executive will honor the nation’s leading trade shows at a site that reflects the very essence of the Gold 100 Awards – the five star Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Laguna Niguel, CA. Set atop a bluff with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, the newly-remodeled five-star Ritz Carlton Hotel is one of the world’s leading hotels – having reached the summit in luxury and service. The 100 shows that will be honored by Trade Show Executive have also reached the summit, not only by their sheer size but also in economic impact on their host cities. They have truly set the gold standard for the exposition industry and the industries they serve. Join us for this grand event of celebration and inspiration
