“Everybody there saw this as the start of something big,” says Lee Knight, founder of EXHIBITOR magazine Group and EXHIBITOR SHOW. “A supplier has already contributed space for next year’s championship, and people are already calling to participate.”
“Giving to the EDPAF is one way Exhibitor Magazine Group can support industry associations that ultimately give back to the trade show community,” says John Pavek, vice president of publishing for Exhibitor Magazine Group.
Pete Dicks, EDPA executive director and EDPAF vice president was a participant in this inaugural event. “On behalf of the Foundation, we’re really thrilled that Lee was willing to organize such an exciting new fundraiser,” he says. “The participants all had a good time and we’re looking forward to it in the future.”
“I thought it was fabulous,” says Bendickson, this year’s tournament winner. “It was a really fun way to raise money for a good cause.”
Video highlights from the First Annual EXHIBITOR SHOW Charity Poker Championship, captured by Goodwyn Production Group, will be shown at the EDPA Annual Conference.
The Charity Poker Championship is just one of several charitable activities Exhibitor Magazine Group has held in conjunction with EXHIBITOR SHOW. Past events include funding and building a Habitat for Humanity house in Las Vegas, volunteering at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, pairing professionals with Baltimore high school students, and matching funds for local projects.
