This is such an honor! Thanks to and everyone who has supported me over the years. Happy New Year!

The January issue is LIVE! In this issue, we interview Martha Scheidegger Donato, Founder and President of MAD Event Management. With more than 25 years of experience orchestrating large-scale events and conferences, she shares why community and collaboration is at the core of all she does.

For this issue, we reached out to dozens of show organizers for their predictions for this year. Recurring themes include quality over quantity, the ongoing employee shortage and safety issues.

We are excited to introduce a new feature in this issue – Destination Spotlight. We kick off in the West. Offering first-rate convention centers, a service-oriented culture and an abundance of hotels, the West is a formidable option for trade shows.
