ISC West in Tradeshow Week’s “Fastest 50” growing trade shows in North America for sixth consecutive yearPublished on 11 August 2008  ISC West has been recognised by leading tradeshow magazine, Tradeshow Week, as a "2008 Tradeshow Week Fastest 50" winner for the past six consecutive years. The "Fastest 50" recognises the fastest-growing trade and consumer shows in the United States and Canada. Sponsored by the Security Industry Association (SIA) and organized by Reed Exhibitions, ISC West serves over 26,000 security professionals every year.
Tradeshow Week's "Fastest 50" winners are selected based on their growth in net square footage over the previous three years (2005-2007). According to Tradeshow Week, winners are calculated using a formula that includes both percentage of growth and actual square footage. Three top prizes will be awarded in November in categories including the fastest growing trade and association show, the fastest growing consumer show, and the overall fastest growing show. "The continued recognition of the growth of ISC West is indicative of the industry's support," said Ed Nichols, Industry Vice President, Reed Exhibitions, Security and Life Safety portfolio. "With the online addition of ISC365.com, the Security and Life Safety portfolio has expanded to serve the industry in a 24 hour/365 days a year opportunity. We are thrilled to have obtained this recognition yet again and want to thank our customers for their support and participation over the years." The Reed Exhibitions' Security and Life Safety portfolio consists of ISC West, ISC Brazil, and the upcoming ISC East, scheduled for October 29-30, 2008 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York, NY. ISC West 2009 will take place on April 1-3, 2009 in Las Vegas, NV. "Our organization is proud to be sole sponsors of the ISC Expos," said Richard Chace, CEO, Security Industry Association (SIA). "We have a decades-long partnership with Reed that underscores our mutual commitment to advancing the industry and helping members grow their business in an evolving global environment." "It is always gratifying to our teams recognized for their hard work and the value they deliver customers," said Chet Burchett, president, RX Americas. "Staying true to our commitment to deliver the contacts, content and communities with the power to transform our customers' business is what drives all of us at Reed Exhibitions." Two other Reed organized shows also made the 2008 "Fastest 50" list. Global Gaming Expo (G2E) was recognised for the fifth consecutive year and SHOT show (Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Show) was honored for the fifth time as well. |
