History

On September 1, 1992, after attaining 15 years of knowledge and expertise in the exhibit and trade show industry, Bev Gray, President and CEO, formed ETC Exhibit Services at the request of their first client.

From that first year, ETC’s mission was to provide Exhibit and Marketing Managers an incomparable personal service, integrity, and value for trade shows and corporate spaces. Today, the company’s core values have remained a priority.

On January 1, 2000 ETC Exhibit Services, Inc. announced a new company name after securing it nationwide – Exhibit Edge Inc. The new name reflected the company’s desire to stay ahead of trends to offer new and technology focused exhibit products.

In October of 2004, Exhibit Edge received its Woman-Owned Certification by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, WBENC. We also acquired our GSA Schedule to respond to increased federal government inquiries. WOSB, Woman Owned Small Business, certification was acquired in 2012.

Recently, we have become more involved in the local community and local initiatives for nationwide organizations. This assistance and volunteer efforts have created increased name recognition and respect in our industry and in our community.

As we move forward, we will continue to successfully serve clientele by meeting all the changing demands of their trade show needs in local, national, and global venues. We will continually move and think ahead of the exhibit industry trends. Providing expert knowledge, service and responsiveness will remain the trademark to our success.
