I'm back from EXHIBITOR, the conference and expo for trade show professionals, with my CTSM (Certified Trade Show Marketing) diploma in hand. It was a wonderful celebration. Did you know there are thousands of people in the program but only 280 people thus far who have graduated? It is amazing to be part of such an elite group. this year there were 37 graduates all female! What is the deal with that? Photo: I am sitting down, third person from left to right.
I just received this letter from my CSTM Advisor and wanted to share with you...
Hello, Ruth,
Our portfolio review team met yesterday, and I'm excited to be able to tell you that your portfolio has been approved! Since you have already passed your Comprehensive Exam, you have completed all certification requirements. You are our newest Certified Trade Show Marketer, and you may begin using the credentials behind your name (ex: Ruth Fell Failer, CTSM). Happy New Year!
Again, congratulations! I hope you will be able to join us in Las Vegas for the Awards Ceremony and celebratory dinner at EXHIBITOR2010, on Sunday evening, March 14th.
Warm regards,
Jan Nelson, CTSM

Exhibitor talent development is encouraged by enhancing the experience in the room. Workshops are customized and interactive, No lectures, No death by PowerPoint.
I present all training workshops and coaching. Nothing is more exciting to me than watching people get-it.
I was an exhibitor for over 10 years with over 150 trade shows. Also have been associated with additional shows in a variety of industries. Received my CTSM (*Certified Trade Show Marketer) designation and continued with learning to advance to the silver level. I take the courses so you don't have to.
