An open letter to the #ExpoChat community

by tracibrowne on January 26, 2012

The weekly chat on twitter that is all about trade shows, #ExpoChat, is just seven months old, yet I don’t know how I managed to live without it all the time before it started.

I have had the privilege of meeting weekly with some of the brightest, most innovative and passionate trade show producers, exhibitors, partners and thought leaders.  We do not always agree on how things should be done but it is always with respect and admiration of one another.  But there is one overwhelming common denominator that everyone on the chat shares.  A passion for creating something special that benefits exhibitors and sponsors and delivers true value to our attendees.  Especially the attendees.

I am overwhelmed by the extent of this passion.  These are not people who are “just doing their jobs”.  These are people who constantly go above and beyond to give attendees what they crave.  These are people who are constantly seeking out ways to improve.

To all of you I say thank you!  Thank you for teaching me.  Thank you for challenging me.  Thank you for making me laugh.  Thank you for getting me all fired up.  Thank you for reminding me what really matters.   Thank you for being #expochat-ers.

If you would like to be a part of this amazing group it’s very simple.  Just join us on Wednesdays at 3PM ET.  For more information check out the ExpoChat website where you can find all of our previous chat topics and archives of each chat.

Well put, Traci! The passion is evident weekly, which excites me for the future of trade shows and conventions. You put so much time and effort into the blog and so thank YOU for being the real #expochat ringleader.

None of this would ever have happened without the support and participation of you and Dana getting this started and ongoing! Thank you both
