OPCC Case Study: Trade Shows

A tradeshow at OPCC

At Overland Park Convention Center, our number one priority is ensuring that our clients feel satisfied with their event. Planning the perfect event can take months of hard work and sleepless nights.

So when we hear from a client that their event exceeded their expectations, we couldn’t be prouder. This is especially true for trade shows. Trade shows present an opportunity for people to meet, discuss ideas, and share knowledge.

These events require the collaboration of hundreds of people, so we’re always thrilled when a client tells us their trade show went well. Let’s examine a few of the trade shows we’ve hosted in the past and hear what the client had to say about their event.

Blish Mize

Blish Mize is a premier trade show for the hardware and building supply industry. Not only does it connect suppliers, customers, and industry professionals, but it also allows attendees to take an in-person look at the newest and most exciting products in the field.

Jonathan Mize, the CEO and President of Blish-Mize Co, had this to say about OPCC after hosting his trade show with us:

“I can’t think of any small convention center in the United States who is providing what the Overland Park Convention Center is offering today with this new service. It’s just another reason why they are the best small convention center in North America.”

Vision Hi-Tech Training & Expo

This trade show allows people in the automotive service industry to stay up to date on everything going on in their field. With hands-on training, technology exhibits, and educational sessions, this show is the perfect resource for members of the automotive industry. Sheri Hamilton, Executive Director for Auto Care Alliance, said this about her trade show experience at OPCC:

“Our attendees come from all across the country and they enjoy meeting at OPCC. We always get rave reviews on the meeting facilities and staff!”

Lineman’s Rodeo Convention and Expo

The country wouldn’t be the same without our linemen and the electric utility industry, which is why our team is proud to host the Lineman’s Rodeo Convention and Expo.

Our large-scale event venues are the perfect place to host this show’s seminars, networking events, and technology exhibitions. Dale Warman, the Lineman’s Rodeo Convention and Expo Co-Chairman, seemed to agree. He said:

“Our experience with Visit Overland Park and the Overland Park Convention Center has been first class and we hope to continue our relationship for many years to come.”

Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG) and Value Merchandisers (VMC)

Last but not least, we’ll discuss the Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG) and Value Merchandisers (VMC) shows.

These events are foundational for members of the grocery and value retail industries. Here, retailers and suppliers meet to discuss market insights and revolutionary new products.

Our flexible spaces and planning resources ensure these events are always a success. After working with us, VMC said, “Another great event! Thanks for your partnership!” And we want to thank them right back. Working with AWG and VMC is always a rewarding experience.
