“As a global service partner to the industry, GES interact with thousands of exhibitors each year. I’m always interested in creative and sustainable activations, therefore I’m so pleased to be on the jury of the Elmia Spark Award for 2019,” said Jason Popp.
The first Awards will be held at Elmia in January 2020. Everyone may nominate a candidate from any of the trade show and events conducted at the Elmia venue (including the forestry fairs – hosted in the middle of the forest) during the year. To nominate, please go to: www.fairlink.se
Among all the incoming nominations during a year, Fairlink will select five exhibitors in each category that will also have the opportunity to provide additional information. The final candidates will be presented to the jury who appoints the three winning exhibitors. In addition to the honour, the winners will receive a price – selecting between an internal or customer activity and/or an event training at Elmia, to a value of maximum SEK 65,000.
“We are very proud of having Jason in our jury. With Jason and the other jury members I think we have created a dream team,” said Mikael Jansson, CEO of Fairlink.
