Exhibit Hall Selling Out for 15th World Congress on ITS
With less than eight months left before the 15th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems kicks off, the 250,000 square foot exhibit hall at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is nearly sold out. There are only five 10'x10' spaces and four 10'x20' spaces left in the entire exhibit hall. The exhibit space for the World Congress was expanded a record five times and can not be further increased. With just a handful of spaces left, it is clear that the exhibit hall will soon be full. If you have been thinking of exhibiting at the World Congress in New York, November 16-20, 2008, contact Bill McGlade of National Trade Productions at 703-706-8204 or worldcongressales@ntpshow.com to reserve your space.
