WEBWIRE – Monday, July 29, 2013

COLUMBIA, MD – July 29, 2013 - The Hughes Group, a leading provider of event management tools and event and environmental design, today announced that its FutureShow®, a program designed to realign revenue and increase the Return On Investment (ROI) for Face-to-Face marketing events, has earned the Exhibit and Event Marketers Association (E2MA), Event Appointed Marketer (EAM) designation. FutureShow has also been selected to connect with event marketers at EXPLORE! Optimizing Customer Attainment from Event Engagement, a symposium produced and organized by the CMO Council and E2MA. EXPLORE will take place on July 29 at Hyatt McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois.

During EXPLORE, the E2MA, in partnership with the CMO Council and FutureShow, is hosting an invitation-only event for senior marketers to review the findings of the recently completed study, “Customer Attainment from Event Engagement.”

FutureShow will also be featured during EXPLORE’s technology showcase, presented by Bob Hughes, president, the Hughes Group, and Andy Holtzman, senior director, FutureShow, who has held executive marketing positions at Paramount Studios, Discovery Communications/Discovery Channel, and Citibank. This fast-moving session showcases vendors who have new technologies, tools, and processes for monitoring and measuring attendee behavior at exhibitions and events.

In a shift away from traditional conference and exhibition models, the FutureShow program employs focused content and engagement between show organizers, sponsors, members/attendees, speakers and contributors to “connect with success.” Show organizers can deliver increased value to all event participants, sponsors and exhibitors, at significantly lower costs, resulting in increased revenues, a higher net profit, and increased loyalty among sponsors and participants. http://tinyurl.com/futureshow
