Coordinated the Pacific Rim Expo with the Ports of Long Beach & Los Angeles. Participants included consulates and trade councils from all countries and U S states bordering the Pacific Ocean. Gourmet Expos develops strategic demographic marketing events. Our expositions are unique in the fact that we limit over exposure of similar items in order for the exhibitor to achieve maximum benefit.
Our marketing is Demographically Targeted to those who both appreciate and have the purchasing power for fine Art & Antiques. The combined experience of the Gourmet Expos team in developing and managing special events is quite extensive.
And Gourmet Expos supports the community as each event in part benefits a local worthwhile community organization.
