Congratulations are in order for Freddie Peterson! 🌊

The Advisory Board of Miami-Dade Public Schools’ NAF Academy of Hospitality & Tourism (AOHT) named Peterson, General Manager of the Miami Beach Convention Center, the 2025 South Florida Tourism Professional of the Year.

Peterson has been an AOHT Board Member since 2019 and is a dedicated supporter of its mission to pay it forward by preparing students for careers in hospitality and tourism.

“I’m truly honored and humbled to receive this recognition and deeply appreciate the AOHT for its unwavering commitment to education and workforce development,” Peterson stated. “AOHT plays a vital role in shaping South Florida’s hospitality future by connecting students with real-world opportunities. I’m grateful for our incredible Miami Beach Convention Center team — not only for what they do every day, but for how we support AOHT’s internship program through our partnership with Oak View Group, creating pathways for local students to thrive.”

All eyes are on the Bay Area as we get closer and closer to Super Bowl LX. 🏈

The big game is just part of the fun, though, with a host of events leading up to kickoff.

We sat down with Jennifer Brisman, Founder and CEO of VOW, an operating system for the live experience economy, to discuss major multi-venue events like the Super Bowl.

“Events power a global economy — and the events around the main event prove it,” Brisman said. “Whether it’s the thousands of experiences orbiting the Super Bowl, CES or SXSW, the host city itself becomes a destination — a living organism fueled by millions of people and trillions of interactions. Every ‘village’ and every ‘villager’ has a role to play, and everything needs to run seamlessly.”

Just weeks before its 2024 show, Equip Exposition faced a major challenge when a cyber incident disrupted its previous registration provider. The team turned to MCI USA, whose OneSystem Plus platform rebuilt registration from the ground up.

Within two weeks, registration was live, the show sold out and attendance hit a record 28,500.

The performance earned Equip Exposition recognition as Greatest Trade Show of 2024 and recipient of the Against All Odds Award at Trade Show Executive’s Gold 100 Awards.

Former UFI - The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry CEO and Managing Director Kai Hattendorf joined jwc GmbH, an international consultancy for the events industry, as Managing Partner.

For decades, Event Transportation Systems (ETS) has driven event participants where they’ve needed to be comfortably and on time. 🚌

Today, ETS is using cutting-edge technology, including its new Book-&-Ride platform, to elevate trade show transportation across the U.S.

We discussed the organization's new tools — and got a sneak peek at what’s coming up in 2026 — with Carson Hotard, Vice President of ETS.

This month’s issue of Trade Show Executive (TSE) features Mark Tester, Executive Director of the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC).

This iconic venue drives economic impact in “The Sunshine State” through exceptional live events and is undergoing a multi-million-dollar expansion. We sat down with Tester to discuss the OCCC’s renovation, how its team is controlling costs and how organizers can best leverage the expertise of venues, DMOs and CVBs to produce great trade shows.

Next, we preview Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting and Exhibition, which is taking over the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston Dec. 8-10 for three days of networking, education and more. This year, the show’s theme is “ONE EPIC EVENT,” which highlights its position as a leading annual gathering for trade show professionals from across the globe.

Also, we examine registration trends for 2025 and beyond, checking in with industry leaders to discover what’s on the horizon. Our findings show that registration is no longer just a transactional moment — it’s a strategic touchpoint to collect data to enhance the attendee experience.

Finally, our Hotel/Convention Center Complexes Report surveys more than 300 spaces in North America and shows an uptick in expansions and construction.
