NEXPO'99 Soars
As the clock counts down to the last NEXPO® of the century, more than 215,000 square feet of exhibit space has been booked for this year's technical exposition, to be held June 14-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Representing 373 exhibitors, that's an increase of 8.6 percent over last year's show in Orlando.
"The steady and dramatic increases we've seen over the years in exhibitors who want to be a part of NEXPO is a testament to the importance of this event," says Eric Wolferman, NAA senior vice president for technology. "Exhibitors want to be at the show where the serious buyers are, and that's NEXPO." (See TechNews, March/April 1999, p. 35, for a profile of show-goers.)
In a one-time change from NEXPO's traditional Saturday-to-Tuesday schedule, the program features a Monday keynote address by Charles M. Geschke, president, co-chairman and co-founder of Adobe Systems Inc. Also on the schedule are sessions on new-media advertising, demystifying networks, 50-inch web widths, solutions for packaging and distribution, and new ways to use pagination.
