Exhibitor Response Excellent For Louisville 2006 Expo
Helen Willard
Stage Expo Sales Manager
Following the outstanding success of the 2005 Conference & Stage Expo in Toronto won't be easy, but Louisville seems to be up to the challenge. More than 70% of the available booth space is already reserved for Stage Expo 2006, and there is plenty of room to add more exhibit space if necessary.
Several exhibitors decided to increase their booth space for 2006 citing the excellent show in Toronto and Louisville's central location.
Nestled on the banks of the Ohio River, Greater Louisville is easily accessible. Located within a day's drive of nearly half the nation's population, Louisville is centered at the junction of interstates 64, 65 and 71. Louisville's commercial airport is only minutes from downtown and handles over 100 flights a day.
Once you've arrived in Louisville, you'll find that USITT conference venues are all connected. Stage Expo will be held in Exhibit Halls 2CD of the Kentucky International Convention Center, with ballrooms and meeting rooms located in the KICC. Across the pedway is the Louisville Marriott Downtown, our headquarters hotel. The other conference hotel, the historic Galt House, is also connected to the KICC via pedway.
You'll probably want to abandon the walkways and take to the streets since conference week weather in Louisville should be more like spring than our wintry week in Toronto. That will make 4th Street Live the place to be next March with dozens of restaurants and cafés in this new dining and entertainment district. Visit www.gotolouisville.com for more information on Louisville's attractions.
