Conferon Global Services (CGS) and BDMetrics announce today the transition of Mike Godsey to Vice President of Business Development at BDMetrics effective March 21, 2005.
Godsey, a 15 year veteran of CGS’s ExpoExchange division and Senior Vice President of Show Services, was instrumental in the creation of the ExpoExchange SmartEventsm product, developed by BDMetrics and brought to the tradeshow industry though the collaborative marketing efforts of both companies.
“Mike will transition into a full-time role with BDMetrics to focus on market demand of SmartEvent,” said Dave Lutz, President of ExpoExchange. “Mike’s ability to concentrate on SmartEvent demonstrates his personal confidence in the future growth and importance of this offering to the tradeshow industry.”
One year after its market introduction, SmartEvent is being implemented into 78 events representing over 1 million attendees. The technology was ranked #1 in top trends for 2005 by a leading tradeshow industry association. Godsey’s experience will further advance SmartEvent and the “ROI Evolution” that this technology has brought to the marketplace.
“This move reflects the strong partnership of CGS and BDMetrics,” said Rick Geritz, CEO of BDMetrics, “and the confidence we have in the growth of this product and that event owners want a solution that drives their business objectives."
Ed Shartar, CEO of Conferon Global Services, said “This is a great move for Mike, CGS and BDMetrics, but most importantly it is a great move for our customers. They will see SmartEvent continue to lower their costs, enhance user experiences, improve marketing, and grow exhibit sales.” |
