The International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) selected the 2015 honorees of its 20 Under 30 recognition program, which recognizes young professional exhibitions and events organizers and affords them the opportunity to attend Expo! Expo! IAEE's Annual Meeting & Exhibition.
The 20 Under 30 program provides education for professional growth in the exhibitions and events industry and aims to help program participants become better, more productive employees. It is sponsored by the Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau and Austin Convention Center.
"We are proud of the level of involvement we have from young professionals in our organization as well as across the overall industry," says IAEE President & CEO David DuBois, CMP, CAE, FASAE, CTA. "Today's young professionals will be tomorrow's leaders, so it is very important to IAEE to contribute to their training and development. It is a wonderful opportunity and win-win situation for us all."
In addition to receiving a complimentary full registration to IAEE's Expo! Expo!—to be held Dec. 1-3, 2015 in Baltimore, Md.—and lodging for three nights, honorees will be recognized throughout the annual meeting and formally at the IAEE Annual Networking Luncheon and Awards Presentation on Thursday, Dec. 3, 2015.
