The American Exhibit Designers and Producers Association EDPA looks back at a successful Annual Convention in December 5-7, 2002 in Boca Raton (Florida).

Together with the EDPA president Mark Brauer, our IFES President addressed to the participants in a witty speech and got a big applaus. Along with the showcase a fascinating program took the participants from design trends and project management to the challenges and chances of international exhibiting. The keynote speaker Roger Blackwell from GES Exposition Services pointed out how to grow profits in times of recession.
