New Study: ABA's Marketplace, Once Again, Is the Place to Do Business (March 28, 2013)

A just-released economic survey of delegates attending the American Bus Association’s 2013 Marketplace in Charlotte, N.C., shows that, once again, ABA’s Marketplace is unmatched as the industry travel and trade show where business gets done. The report by the New York economic consulting firm John Dunham and Associates shows that Marketplace generated $108.3 million in booked and future business for show participants.

Beware of ‘Fair Guide’ scam targeting ABA members (March 8, 2013)

A new round of mailings claiming affiliation with ABA Marketplace has surfaced from the Fair Guide and Construct Data Publishers for an "exhibitors directory."

Please warn your employees to be on the lookout for this scam.
