EXHIB-IT! Hosts Successful Albuquerque Business to Business Expo

EXHIB-IT!, Albuquerque’s leading trade show marketing experts, hosted a successful business to business

expo on June 6, 2013 that was attended by over 520 people. This annual event provides an excellent venue

for small business owners and entrepreneurs in the Albuquerque area to network with each other and create

successful business relationships. The event also included a fundraiser for UNITE for the Forgotten Kids of NM

which resulted in a donation of $8300 from EXHIB-IT!’s silent auction.

Silent Auction

The Silent Auction was sponsored by local companies such as ABQ Lasik, Trolley, Albuquerque Florist,

AlluraDerm, Artichoke Café, Aveda, Bank of the West, Bella Diamond & Watch, Brilliant Hair Studio and many

more. This popular event always receives a great deal of community support. National companies such as

Applebee’s, the Sheraton and Crowne Plaza hotel chains and Wells Fargo also sponsored this year’s EXHIB-

IT! networking event.

Donations were made to the silent auction by local businesses. Proceeds from the auction went to support

UNITE for the Forgotten Kids of NM (The Aspen Project/LifeQuest). A different non-profit organization is

chosen each year to benefit from the proceeds.

EXHIB-IT!’s also hosted a Facebook non-profit contest that was won by ABQ Heading Home and they were

rewarded with a display valued at $1800 at the business-to-business expo.
