Kevin Shaw’s Summary

Kevin Shaw is the Founder and President of Great Circle Promotions (www.greatcirclepromotions.com).

Great Circle Promotions specializes in providing project management services for trade show exhibitors. Exhibiting at trade shows can, for many companies, be their strongest form of marketing and branding. However, many small to mid-sized companies do not have the staff available to address many of the issues unique to trade shows. As a partner, Great Circle Promotions can effectively increase the return on your trade show investment.

Great Circle Promotions is qualified to assist both domestically and internationally. General services that GCP offers include: researching and selecting appropriate shows, exposing your company to new shows in different markets, selecting strategic booth space and developing a realistic timeline and budget. Please visit www.greatcirclepromotions.com for a comprehensive list of general services.

Internationally, GCP offers the following additional services: completing tasks based on your unique business culture (drayage, labor unions, stand construction, hotel and air reservations), providing translation, interpretation and on-site language services, managing shippping logistics, handling of hospitality and secondary events and submitting all paperwork regarding Value Added Tax (VAT).

Kevin's expertise is in solving logistical problems and creating unique and profitable event experiences.
