Thursday, January 26, 2012 Southwest Showcase
Austin Convention Center

The new Southwest Showcase is here! We’ve created an improved schedule for 2012 to give you a more exciting and valuable day of learning, connecting and taking care of business.

Our new flow of the day was created by our task force - people who do what you do. We have put lunch in the trade show, moved our second keynoter to the afternoon and brought back the popular closing reception.

This is THE place for those in the meetings, education and exhibitions industry to be in 2012. Plan now to join us on January 26 at the Austin Convention Center.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 CEM - Selecting Service Contractors
8am - 5pm
Austin Convention Center, Room 3, Austin

An opportunity for CEMs and future CEMs will be coming to Austin. The IAEE Central Texas Chapter is offering this CEM module  in conjunction with the 2012 Southwest Showcase.

An exhibition can only be produced by a mutual effort of multiple entities, many of which exist outside the sponsoring organization. A substantial portion of the exhibition or event organizer’s job is to shop the industry for services and products needed and to contract for their services.
