WHY JOIN SISO? YOUR COLLEAGUES EXPLAIN "WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU!"

MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS BENEFITS
Independent Event Organizers Of All Sizes Join SISO Because...

David Adler
CEO and Founder, BizBash Media
"SISO, circa 2013, is hot. With membership growing rapidly and gaggles of investment bankers hovering at events make, you really wonder what is happening here. The center of gravity of the media world seems to be in the exhibition and event space like at no other time in history. With all the technological advances, there is even more of a quest to gather face-to-face in what amounts to the new "Town Squares" for everything from industry to consumer interests.  Doesn't get better than thousands of people who really do more than "Facebook Likes" gathering at a trade show or consumer exhibition." 

Sean Guerre
President, Stone Fort Group

“SISO has had a tremendously positive effect on my life as an entrepreneur in the conference and tradeshow business.  It is with SISO that I have launched, grown, and sold my first media company, and with my SISO contacts and knowledge, I am building my next startup as well. SISO members have been very generous in their sharing of knowledge, techniques and latest ideas to improve the management and profitability of our events. We have learned from participating in SISO events how to integrate digital media successfully into our event business. The overall focus of this organization is to help your company and key management team to succeed in a rapidly changing live media environment, and this happens through the meetings and networking that only SISO can deliver. I can safely say that our annual membership in SISO has produced outstanding ROI, both immediately and in the long-term.”

Toby Walters
CEO, Co-Founder, Elite Exhibitions

“Shortly after joining as a new member, Elite Exhibitions experienced the benefits of being a SISO Member, such as cutting our insurance costs by 70%. We have also been able to use the SISO logo on our event websites, which has given us an enormous amount of credibility. There are so many benefits to becoming a SISO Member, but this one alone makes our membership worth it!”
