Get the V.I.P Treatment at Retail Interiors Expo

The Retail Interiors Expo — a joint venture of VM+SD and ExpoNation (Atlanta) — hits Chicago’s Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill., on May 17-18, 2006, with the red-carpet treatment for VIP attendees.

Registered VIP attendees will receive several amenities, including a concierge service to arrange appointments with select exhibitors and a special telephone number to assist with travel, hotel, dinner and event registration; V.I.P. Preview, allowing access to the exhibit hall one hour before the show officially opens; airport transportation; a welcome area with special registration counter and access to an upgraded floor; and a V.I.P. Expo Check-In/Welcome Lounge.

Retail Interiors Expo targets the retail store planning, design and visual merchandising communities. The show’s exhibit floor will be organized into two distinct and defined pavilions to house store fixtures and visual merchandising products and services. Attendees will include senior executives from retailers, including the nation’s 200 largest retail chains, top 100 specialty chains and leading design firms and top-tiered manufacturers and suppliers.

The event is part of Retail Week, a collaboration and co-location of compatible retail management-oriented events, including Digital Retailing Expo (www.digitalretailingexpo.com) and Retail Construction Expo ((www.retailconstructionexpo.com).
