Welcome From the Chair...
Welcome to the Southeastern Chapter of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events. Our board of directors is committed to providing this chapter of hospitality and event professionals with the highest level of education, networking and business development. As a group, we will focus on the unique value of exhibitions and other face to face events that bring buyers and sellers together. IAEE continues to be the principle resource for those who plan, produce and service the industry.
The Southeastern Chapter of IAEE represents Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. This Chapter is committed to providing the region’s relevant organizations and personnel with opportunities to learn more about our business and in helping our members grow and prosper by providing the best opportunity for companies to reach new customers, develop new ideas and resource trusted suppliers.
I have designated 2102 as a ‘Year of Learning.’ Find out how much we have to offer by joining us for our luncheon events and at the Southern Classic.

Technology has an effect on every industry. The event industry is no exception. The ability to connect our customers online and offline is essential to our business. From Social media, Blogs, Portal, Digital Magazines, Virtual Events, Newsletters and Apps to Data Mining, Meet-Ups and Unconferences, the industry needs to embrace the new tools to continue to be successful.
The June meeting will feature Thought leaders who are developing, using and envisioning new tools for our industry.
If you truly want to get the attention of your customers you need to be where they are looking for information.
