EXHIB-IT! Hosts Successful Albuquerque Business to Business Expo
EXHIB-IT!, Albuquerque’s leading trade show marketing experts, hosted a successful business to business
expo on June 6, 2013 that was attended by over 520 people. This annual event provides an excellent venue
for small business owners and entrepreneurs in the Albuquerque area to network with each other and create
successful business relationships. The event also included a fundraiser for UNITE for the Forgotten Kids of NM
which resulted in a donation of $8300 from EXHIB-IT!’s silent auction.
Silent Auction
The Silent Auction was sponsored by local companies such as ABQ Lasik, Trolley, Albuquerque Florist,
AlluraDerm, Artichoke Café, Aveda, Bank of the West, Bella Diamond & Watch, Brilliant Hair Studio and many
more. This popular event always receives a great deal of community support. National companies such as
Applebee’s, the Sheraton and Crowne Plaza hotel chains and Wells Fargo also sponsored this year’s EXHIB-
IT! networking event.
Donations were made to the silent auction by local businesses. Proceeds from the auction went to support
UNITE for the Forgotten Kids of NM (The Aspen Project/LifeQuest). A different non-profit organization is
chosen each year to benefit from the proceeds.
EXHIB-IT!’s also hosted a Facebook non-profit contest that was won by ABQ Heading Home and they were
rewarded with a display valued at $1800 at the business-to-business expo.
