Trade Show News Network (TSNN) is thrilled to unveil it will be celebrating the 2022 TSNN Awards Nov. 8-9 at host venue CAESARS FORUM in Las Vegas.

The two-day festive event will feature a bevy of awards celebrating all of the amazing innovation at trade shows in the past year, as well as the people who are the best of the best at what they do.

The 12th Annual 2022 TSNN Awards gala celebration and educational conference will be held at the new CAESARS FORUM, which is the host sponsor of the overall event.

“Caesars Entertainment is honored to partner with TSNN to host their Annual Awards program," said Michael Massari, chief sales officer, Caesars Entertainment. "In the year of recovery, the industry titans supporting and being recognized at this year’s event will have an opportunity to experience the brand new 500,000-square-foot CAESARS FORUM in Las Vegas.”

He added, “The Trade Show Industry plays an essential role in the economic engine of the United States and the world. This year's TSNN Awards will celebrate the passion and resiliency of our industry.”

The awards program will feature the “Best of Innovation Awards” – shows that have truly shone brightly in the past two years with maybe a new marketing program or an amazing virtual or hybrid event or they could have created a great community or found new ways to serve their audiences.

TSNN is looking for any or all great shows to submit when the application process opens in another month. In the meantime, please send TSNN Marketing Director Arlene Shows any shows you want to brag about (even your own!) ashows@tarsusus.com.

The gala awards also will celebrate people in the trade show industry who have stepped forward and demonstrated incredible leadership throughout these difficult times.

There also have been people who have led the charge to ensure more diversity and inclusion or given selflessly to help our industry and they, too, will be celebrated, among many others.

“With the past two and half years being like no other in the challenges it represented, there is no better time to celebrate the incredible resiliency, creativity and innovation in our amazing industry,” said TSNN President Rachel Wimberly.

She added, “Caesars Forum is the perfect venue host for us to celebrate this year’s awards. We can’t wait to raise a toast to all of the great shows and people!
