Gold 100 Gala & Summit
Honoring the 100 Shows that Set the
Gold Standard for the Trade Show Industry
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!
