With over ten years of experience in multiple areas of Trade Shows and Conferences, Eric has a depth of familiarity with the Event Industry uncommon for someone his age. In the early 1980's, he started as a grunt worker at PEGS Exhibits Inc., the Washington, DC area's first design-and-build trade show exhibit house. After finishing college the first time, he helped to market and sell to Associations and Event Organizers while with a2z, Inc., one of the premier Event Management Software solution providers. After completing a second degree, he sold and generated leads for National Trade Productions, J. Spargo and Associates, and again for a2z.

Now, Eric is the Principal of P.O.P. Event Marketing, Inc, which provides Pre-Event, On-Site, and Post-Event marketing to Event Organizers and to individual exhibitors.

Eric and his son, Isaac, are in his profile photo. Not pictured are his daughter, Eden, and the cutest lady in the world, his wife, Christina.

All: If you exhibit, how do you use Social Media?

An exhibitor is usually aware of their most attractive product/service, especially when reaching out to a specific kind of decision maker.
