TESTIMONIALS
We estimate that SmartSource saved our association 20% on
our expenses for our key tradeshows and member conferences.
They were honest and transparent in their approach. Historically
we would bring our own staff and equipment. Now we use
SmartSource to provide the equipment and services. As an
added benefit, they teach the association leaders where and
how to use technology so we meet our members needs.
—Emily DeYoung, CASE-Council for Advancement & Support of Education
TESTIMONIALS
—Courtney Smith, QuadraMed
Our marketing budget has been slashed and we are expected
to deliver the same or better value in our Trade Shows and
conferences. SmartSource has become a virtual member of
our department. They understand our needs for each show
or conference and deliver great value. We view them as a
partner…not a vendor.
TESTIMONIALS
—Greg Meisner, PITTCON TSW Top 200 Trade Show
We are a volunteer, committee driven association.Our Conference
is heavy on education and certification. SmartSource has
the knowledge and experience to anticipate my needs before I
articulate them. Our committee does not have to worry if we have
the right stuff and will it work. It will be hard to improve on the great
job that you did this past year.
TESTIMONIALS
—Amanda Dawson, Morrow Technologies Corporation
…The SmartSource reps had replacement monitors in my
booth in mere minutes. Better yet, they went to work with my
labor crew to get the monitors mounted and hooked up in the
proper spots…

The Annual SIIM Trade Show is a Dynamic Technology and Data driven gathering. The Society members are IT Directors, Doctors and Technicians. They Expect a High Level Technology Experience from Show Management and Exhibitors.
The Challenge: All Players Must Deliver More Value
The Association focuses on delivering a world class experience for their members & exhibitors. They do not have the time, resources nor experience to spec out hardware/software and manage all the vendors.
The Exhibitors want a venue and PC/AV Technology that puts their products and services in the best light for the attendees. They Need a Technology Solution that allows them to stand out and communicate easily with tradeshow attendees and a low hassle way of capturing high value leads and contacts.
The Members want an education program that stretches them… delivered through first class media. They also want to be challenged by stimulating and thought provoking displays on the exhibition floor.

SmartSource is the single point of contact responsible to plan, organize and deliver all required technology. SmartSource does this with a dedicated team…year after year.
