ABOUT US

ExpoVention is a full-service trade show partner. For nearly three decades, we’ve helped organizations plan, execute, and elevate their presence at trade shows worldwide. Whether you are show management, building an event from the ground up, or an exhibitor focused on maximizing your booth impact, we bring the strategy, structure, and on-the-ground execution needed to make every show seamless and successful.


Rooted in project and meeting management, ExpoVention has evolved into a comprehensive trade show management firm supporting both sides of the exhibition ecosystem. Our goal is to transform trade shows into efficient, impactful, and stress-free experiences.

Our Mission


Our mission is simple: to make trade shows more strategic, more effective, and far less overwhelming. We manage the details—large and small—so our clients can focus on building relationships, generating leads, and achieving business objectives. From year-out planning through post-show analysis, every moment is an opportunity to showcase your brand or event at its best.

Our Founder

 

ExpoVention was founded in 1996 by Wendy Morris, a seasoned expert with more than 25 years of global experience planning trade shows, conferences, and events for Fortune 500 organizations. Her background in public relations and public administration, paired with decades of hands-on trade show operations, allows her to approach each project with both strategic vision and practical execution.


Wendy’s collaborative, client-focused approach is the foundation of ExpoVention’s reputation for precision, creativity, and flawless delivery. She understands the unique pressures and priorities of both event organizers and exhibitors, enabling the company to tailor its services to each client’s specific goals.

Who We Serve

 

ExpoVention supports both sides of the trade show industry—show management teams and individual exhibitors. While both share the goal of delivering a successful event, their needs, timelines, and objectives are entirely different. We understand your unique needs, and we deliver solutions designed for each perspective.

​

For Show Management & Event Organizers

 

Supporting show management begins long before exhibitors arrive on the show floor. We work 12 months out (and often earlier) to help organizers plan, structure, and execute world-class events. ExpoVention acts as a strategic extension of the event team, providing:

​

  • Guidance on selecting and vetting third-party vendors

  • Support throughout the RFP and vendor bidding process

  • Coordination across multiple venue options and recommendations based on event needs

  • Assistance with contract negotiations with venues and service partners

  • Consultation on show floor layout, attendee flow, and operational planning

  • Management of timelines, communication plans, and exhibitor-facing materials

  • Oversight to ensure consistency, clarity, and high-quality delivery across the entire event ecosystem

 

Our goal is to help organizers build an event infrastructure that is efficient, cost-effective, well-coordinated, and ready to scale.

​

For Exhibitors & Brand Teams

 

Exhibitors have an entirely distinct set of goals, focused on visibility, engagement, and ROI. We support exhibitors as early as a year in advance to help them plan their entire trade show season and handle every logistical and strategic detail. Services include:

​

  • Building and optimizing annual trade show calendars

  • Evaluating which shows will deliver the strongest return

  • Managing deadlines, documentation, and compliance requirements

  • Coordinating EACs, COIs, shipping, freight, and inbound/outbound materials

  • Developing booth layouts, décor, signage, and engagement strategies

  • Integrating AV, interactive technology, and lead retrieval solutions

  • Reviewing graphics and collateral for consistency and impact

We ensure exhibitors show up prepared, polished, and positioned for success.
