Trade Show Technical Supervisor

Ogallala, Nebraska

June 2001 to June 2003

As the lead Technical person in the tradeshow dept. I was responsible for the physical and technical installation of over 30 tradeshow booths per year. I maintained my own inventory of 5 different Tradeshow booths from a simple 10 x 10 “Pop up” to my Custom designed, 2 Story, 2400 sqf, 300k “Castle” themed booth which won The Booth of the Year for the 2002 IAAPA Amusement Park Tradeshow in Orlando, Fl.
Kept my own inventory of products and materials at 2 different warehouses and was in charge of the freight transportation of the booths to and from shows. Our main warehouse also had the room for booth set-up so that sales people and executives could actually see the booths as they would appear at a tradeshow.
Created my Own booth designs with CAD and Visio Drawings including all Booth "Services" and worked with Sales and Marketing to achieve the correct Feel to allow the Sales Dept. the best use of equipment and maximize their effectiveness in selling to the final consumer
In addition to designing and building the booths I was a Certified Technical demonstrator for the radios station automation software we created for Clear Channel and constantly in the top 3 in Booth Sales!
