We’ll dive into how to be make the most impact before, during, and after the show, how to get your technical team engaged, and how the trade show landscape is changing.

About Stacy:
Stacy L. Edmundson founded Red Door Three in 2014, which started as a home-based business that quickly grew and moved to the perfect space in her hometown of Andover. She enjoys touring the facilities of clients to learn more about what they do, interacting with the people who make it all happen and solving clients’ problems while providing as much value as possible. Stacy is passionate about manufacturing and all it has to offer, and she recently served as the President of the Wichita Manufacturers Association (WMA) and continues to volunteer her time in helping the manufacturing community. Recently, Stacy sold her business to Trade Show Savvy, LLC a trade show management company headquartered in Grapevine, Texas. Trade Show Savvy combines a proprietary SaaS platform with hands-on exhibit services — helping exhibitors plan, manage, and execute their trade show programs. This is a natural extension to all that an exhibit house can offer to clients. Great news is, we will continue operate in the Kansas facility, retain the existing team and be able to continue to offer that boutique experience to our clients.
