Exhibitus has announced its national expansion with the opening of a new facility in Phoenix, Arizona during the fourth quarter of 2023. This strategic move comes as businesses are revitalizing their relationships with markets post-pandemic.
As face-to-face experiential events have once again become a critical component of corporate marketing activities, Exhibitus has experienced significant increase in its customer base, while continually introducing new experiential engagement capabilities. The expansion of the company’s regional facilities is key to supporting this growth in services and presence across the U.S.
Recognizing that Las Vegas hosts nearly 24,000 meetings and conventions annually and was named the No. 1 trade show destination in North America for 26 consecutive years by the Trade Show News Network (TSNN), it was obvious that we need to be within a short drive to Vegas to minimize transportation cost and logistic challenges.
WHY PHOENIX
