Chestnut Ridge, NY (February 24, 2012) — Whether it’s budgets, time management, or creating a quality exhibit design that meets marketing objectives, managing a trade show program is not without its challenges. Under the theme, “You Talk, We Listen”, MC² (Booth #1445) is asking attendees at EXHIBITOR2012 (March 5 - 7; Las Vegas, NV) to sound-off on their trade show challenges.

Visitors to the booth will have the option to speak, sing, or rap their top-of-mind issues, which MC² will playback as a video mash-up on oversized plasma screens displayed on a central tower within the booth. After guests have stepped up to the mike in the booth’s mini-recording area they can meet with MC² staff to talk one-on-one in a chic, yet relaxed environment.

“At MC2, our job is to make our clients’ jobs easier and to create successful exhibiting programs. We believe that great communication is essential to achieving this. And, the key to great communication is listening,” said Rob Murphy, chief marketing officer, MC2. “We understand our clients’ pain points. This year at EXHIBITOR2012, we wanted to create a fun, unique experience for attendees to express their thoughts – the good and the not so good – on exhibit and event management.”

Off the show floor, MC² will showcase its commitment to education as the sponsor of the graduation ceremonies for the Certified Trade Show Marketer (CTSM) program, which will be held on the second floor of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV on Sunday, March 4, 2012. Additionally, MC² executives will present on face-to-face marketing and professional development topics during the Conference at EXHIBITOR. MC²-led presentations include:
