Duke Energy Convention Center honored as one of EXHIBITOR Magazine’s Centers of Excellence
Our Auto Expo partners at Duke Energy Convention Center have been recognized as one of EXHIBITOR Magazine’s 30 best North American convention centers for trade shows and events.
Small, medium, and large convention centers were evaluated using an objective algorithm weighted to reflect how EXHIBITOR magazine readers value a variety of variables.
- Facility & Functionality
- Location & Accommodations
- Service & Execution
- Expansions & Upgrades
- Awards & Industry Participation
The evaluation process also included a survey of event planners, show organizers, and exhibit managers who have recently hosted (or exhibited at) events within each facility, as well as a review of entrants’ event spaces, selling points, and innovations, conducted by a panel of corporate exhibit managers.
