Exciting Message From Kelvin Lee
Event Solutions Joins UBM Live For Worldwide Growth
Event Solutions is now positioned for worldwide growth through the acquisition of a majority stake of Event Solutions by UBM. I made the strategic decision to join UBM, a leading global business media company with operations in 13 countries, to maximize Event Solutions’ full potential. I, along with the entire Event Solutions and Catersource team, will remain at the forefront of the company’s continued growth.
Event Solutions will join UBM Live’s portfolio of companies serving the Food & Leisure industries both in the USA and internationally. The new conference attendees and subscribers that will be introduced to our educational conferences, tradeshow, magazines and network of event professionals will have a continued positive impact on our industry. UBM Event Solutions’ growth will also help our exhibitors, sponsors and business partners reach their goals.
John Stuttard, Senior Vice President of UBM Live said:
“Event Solutions is the leading events business in the fast-growing US events industry. We see strong opportunities to grow the brand by leveraging our US and worldwide events infrastructure, as well as driving synergies with our UBM events. We are delighted that Kelvin Lee and his team will be joining UBM Live and look forward to working with them to develop the business going forward.”
UBM Event Solutions will continue to provide event professionals with the education, information and products that will keep them on the cutting-edge, while they offer their clients the latest event trends. Thank you for supporting Event Solutions over the past years. With your continued support, the resources and people of UBM Event Solutions will keep our industry vital and strong. See you all at 2012 Event Solutions Idea Factory in Las Vegas!
