We’re excited to announce that Coast to Coast Conferences & Events (CTC) has been honored with the 2023 PPAI Silver Award in the Tradeshow/Exhibit Traffic category for our work on the CEO Success Community 10×20 Tradeshow Exhibit Booth, sponsored by CDW. This recognition from the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) highlights creativity, excellence, and innovation in the promotional products industry—and this project represents all that and more.
A Booth That Combined Impact and Sustainability
This award-winning booth was the result of a true collaborative effort with CEO Success Community and the production expertise of Michele Cochran at SixTwentySix. Together, we crafted a standout exhibit that balanced aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, ensuring it made a lasting impression at the tradeshow while leaving minimal environmental impact.
From concept to execution, our focus was clear: deliver an exhibit that captured attention, aligned with the brand’s values, and set a benchmark for eco-friendly event design.
Client Shoutout:
Marianne Ellis of CEO Success Community captured it perfectly when she said: “We dreamed it—you did it!”
Sustainability at the Core
One of the defining aspects of this project was our commitment to sustainability. In 2023, we took significant strides to ensure this booth not only dazzled during the event but also contributed to a more sustainable future. Here’s how:
- 100% Recyclable Design:
Every component of the booth was designed with sustainability in mind. Once the tradeshow ended, the entire exhibit was disassembled and recycled, minimizing waste and showcasing what’s possible with eco-conscious planning. - Eco-Friendly Materials:
The design incorporated materials chosen for their recyclability and minimal environmental impact, setting a new standard for tradeshow exhibits in 2023.
