Show Decorating & Exposition Services

Producing a successful event requires a team that understands your concept and adds support every step of the way. Our account executives and designers will help you plan and design your show by leveraging our extensive “behind the scenes” team. We believe that a trade show is more than a space to display vendor’s wares. We believe it should be an exciting experiential environment with a specific look and feel that is not only user friendly, but also conducive to successful business. We want to create an event that exhibitors and attendees will find both visually attractive and comfortable. We manage meetings throughout every stage of your event planning including execution of timeline, development of design and logistics management. We are ready to help you with all aspects of your event. Our show site support is more than a walkthrough; it’s better described as an inspection. Our senior managers are always onsite ensuring every detail is closely monitored. NCS monitors the entire process with timeline reports as the installation and dismantle is in progress. Going the extra mile and making critical decisions when required ensures a timely move-in. We remain focused on ensuring your exhibitor’s complete satisfaction. Our clients are your clients and we take that responsibility very seriously. We understand that to ensure the growth of your show, the exhibitors must have a worry free install process so they can tend to the reason they are at your show in the first place, to promote their businesses. The NCS teams unwavering commitment to achieve perfection guarantees the success of your events.

Labor Management

National Convention Services experience and expertise allows event managers the flexibility to attend to other aspects of the show. We understand that exhibit and event manager’s time is not best spent standing on the trade show floor with the Installation and Dismantling (I&D) team making sure their show or booth is properly put together. The NCS team will skillfully set up your events and exhibitors booths with a budget oriented focus so everyone can spend less time on the trade show floor during installation and dismantle. We are a “behind the scenes” extension of your team and each exhibitors team, focused on every detail that is vital to the success of your event. We assign a dedicated Exposition Services Account Executive who manages the entire process from pre-show planning to installation, dismantle, and outbound shipping management. Our Installation and Dismantle (I&D) AE’s work closely with you and your exhibitors to coordinate every logistical aspect to deliver picture perfect results.

Since 1986,we have assembled the most experienced and dedicated team and established strong relationships with some of the largest players in the exposition and event services industry. Our experienced team will take charge and make the correct show site decisions. At the end of the day you can rest easy knowing you and your exhibitors are with the best in the exposition services and event business.

To Whom it May Concern:

During the past Curve Expos in NY and Las Vegas(2007, 2008 and now 2009) that Hanky Panky has attended, I have had the privilege of working with EDG a Division of National Convention Services. I would like to express my appreciation for Sal Longhitano and his team from National Convention Services. In both venues, the EDG Team’s personal attention to my needs as an exhibitor and the professional attitude presented by every one of their employees to accommodate a variety of requests, made the experience completely positive. At all venues (Penn Plaza in 2007, The Javits Center in 2008 and 2009 and The Venetian 2007, 2008 and 2009), all of our logistics from Freight Delivery, Empty Storage and Delivery back to the booth and Out of the show to I&D Set up and pre-show planning has been handled in an extremely timely and efficient manner. The NCS team always contacts our Display House prior to each show personally and coordinates our freight delivery in to the shows with 100% accuracy and our booth is always set up on time and in budget. The NCS team coordinates everything for the booth set up perfectly. Sal’s team’s attention to detail and his pleasant and calm personality diminished the stress that often accompanies these issues. We always get in and out of the shows quickly and better than other experiences we have had with other GSC’s. We strongly recommend National Convention Services to any Show Organizer or Venue and hope they are the go to company at every show Hanky Panky and I may exhibit with in the future. Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:

It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation. We have been working with National Convention Services since 2007. They provide our event decorating and exposition trade show services for our four annual expositions held in New York and Las Vegas.

Sal Longhitano and his team at National Convention Services provide VIP services to the CURVEXPO Management team and all of our valued exhibitors. NCS has a proactive approach to service. They contact us and each of our exhibitors to review their individual needs prior to each show to ensure a pleasurable trade show experience.

Their booth decorating equipment is state of the art European Style structure. This unique equipment provides a beautiful look and feel to our show. Our exhibitors are very happy with the booth structure and it far surpasses the standard pipe and drape or octanorm treatments typically used.

They also manage everything from electrical services. drayage, graphic production, shipping. storage and every thing we require to have a successful show while maintaining the most competitive prices in the industry. We have been rewarded each time we use their services and recommend them to anyone looking for a high level exhibitor and event decorating services contractor.Sincerely

Motor Trend Auto Shows

Las Vegas • South Carolina • West Virginia • Harrisburg, PA • Virginia • New Mexico

When Motor Trend was faced with the challenge of maintaining their show decorating budget NCS stepped up to the plate. The incumbent decorator from the prior West Virginia Auto Show proposed to increase their decorating fees 30% from the prior year. NCS carefully reviewed their exposition services plan and found unique and innovative ways to produce this high level event inside their expo budget. Everything from our graphic treatments to unique specialty carpeting looked exceptional. The Governor of the state of West Virginia even took the time to compliment the appearance of the trade show. Since then NCS has been awarded several other Motor Trend Shows including Las Vegas, South Carolina, Harrisburg, Virginia and New Mexico Please take a moment to review the reference letter from Motor Trend, the auto shows photos and the online exhibitors Exposition Services Manual (Use password wauto)

James AngellinoNational Convention Services145 West 30th StreetNew York, NY 10001

Jimmy,

You did an incredible job here in West Virginia. Ruth is so impressed with the look of the show this year. We faced a huge dilemma in April last year when the projected general service contractor budget came in for the 2008 show. Obviously a show of this size can’t absorb a 30% increase in fees. You had a bar set at last year’s level. I must say when the Governor of the state of West Virginia compliments the show as looking better than last year, you have made your “mark”.

The signage package looked great and the onsite management was flawless- and all rolled with anything thrown at you- from you personally pitching in to clean up State Farm’s move in mess in order to take care of Pam Lambert’s Corvette display to all the extra touches you provided to the VIP Gala- the searchlight, red carpet with logos and the “step and repeat” photo wall, it was a Class “A” effort.

Ruth received so many compliments, and with many of the legislature in attendance- this was her “Super Bowl” and she is eternally grateful. As a show producer, I am grateful that you exceeded her expectations. You made Motor Trend look good in her eyes I personally thank you for that.

Sincerely,

Steve Freeman, CMPVP, Executive ProducerMotor Trend Auto Shows, Inc

RE: National Convention Services, LLC

June 20, 2007To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is to serve as my formal recommendation for National Convention Services. As the event coordinator for Spectracell Laboratories, I have worked closely with many convention and exhibit services companies. In my experience I have come to consider National Convention Services as my top choice for exhibits and conventions. They provide outstanding customer service and I know that my exhibits and shows will always be a success with them ensuring I have everything I need for a smooth show.

Just this year alone NCS has overseen the handling and decorating services for at least four of my exhibits. These exhibits were among a few of our most important shows of the year and also ones where we had invested the most money. Because of NCS, everything went as smooth as possible and I appreciated that a representative from their company was always available at all of the show sites from installation to dismantling to answer any questions and help solve any issues that may have come up in a professional and quick manner. Through out my exhibits someone personally came by and made sure that everything was going well and if needed anything at all that they were willing to help in any way possible.

In addition, I have worked with many other exhibit services companies and have found that NCS has one of the best selections of furniture, accessories and many other exhibit services and a very reasonable price which can be a very important deciding factor for exhibitors. I recommend NCS to any company that wants to ensure that they have a very successful exhibit or show and would work with them again and again.

Best Regards,

Anna Hernandez Event Coordinator Spectracell Laboratories

5/15/2007To Whom It May Concern:

I have worked with NCS for the past 15 plus years as both an exhibitor appointed contractor for labor and as a general contractor for our dealer shows. NCS provides labor services to install and dismantle both our Honda and Acura exhibits at some 20 auto shows nationwide, which we are expanding this show season. NCS has been our chosen general contractor in various cities across the country for our dealer shows from San Antonio, Las Vegas, San Francisco, San Diego, Orlando to Seattle and this year in Chicago.

In their role as our general contractor NCS is responsible for all freight handling and drayage and the move in and out of all our vehicles including multiple vehicle turn overs during our events. They are responsible for all our labor from booth installation to rigging to carpet and the, supply and installation of our show décor, such as drape and dealer registration areas. They also provide system equipment and furniture to support more then 20 business units of Honda Motor Co. from Honda Financial to all our dealer support areas.

Having dealt with National at as many events and for as many years as I have I cannot recommend them highly enough. I know first hand how they service and support their clients as compared to other generals we have dealt with across the country; I know they would be a welcome change for your show. I believe such a change would only help improve your already improving image and exhibitor support of your show as we the exhibitors would have a true partner that truly cares about servicing their clients. If you would like to speak further about this please feel free to call me.

Sincerely,William Palm
