I’m excited to tell you that Marketplace Events, producers of the American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo), has awarded MPN’s parent company, Babcox Media, a contract to publish the AIMExpo Show Daily, AIMExpo Show Directory and AIMExpo
Consumer Souvenir Program.

I’ll be leading the editorial team, and can’t wait to begin to pull together these exciting publications for this dynamic show! Our work will culminate live at the inaugural AIMExpo at the Orange County Convention Center, Oct. 16-20, 2013, in Orlando, Fla.

AIMExpo has already made headlines, and there’s sure to be many stories to tell as OEMs, distributors, parts and accessory manufacturers, dealers, consumers and the media all converge at the event. Industry veterans Mike Webster, Larry Little, Cinnamon Kernes and Kerry Graeber have done an amazing job building the event, and it is an honor to work with them.

“We’re thrilled that MPN will be the official publisher of the AIMExpo Show Daily, Directory and Souvenir Program,” said Mike Webster, president, Trade Show Division of Marketplace Events, in a press release announcing the deal. “As a leading trade media brand in the powersports industry, MPN is ideally suited to perform this vital function. Collectively, these publications will help convey our vision for an energetic and efficient show platform, and provide additional value to AIMExpo exhibitors and attendees. We’re looking forward to working with the MPN staff to bring these important products to the market.”
