Milton, NY (November 1, 2007) –The Business Marketing Association of the Hudson Valley (BMA-HV) will hold its November/December meeting on Tuesday, December 4, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., at Ship Lantern Inn, Route 9W, Milton. The guest speaker will be trade show expert Glenn Diehl, president of Skyline Displays Manhattan.

Says Bud Clarke, BMA-HV President, “In this age of high technology, so much of our communication happens electronically. For some, trade shows are the only time they ever get to actually meet people face-to-face with whom they communicate everyday. And trade shows offer a unique opportunity to present one’s goods and services in the most direct way possible to potential customers. As marketing experts agree tradeshows are becoming more relevant, we thought the time was right to invite the absolute leader in trade show expertise to come talk to us. Glenn Diehl will cover such topics as space selection, budgeting, design, staff training, lead management, promotion, and more. Glenn will ensure that we learn how to make what is already a fun event an extremely profitable one as well.”

After 23 years of work with Skyline Displays Inc., Glenn Diehl has become an expert not only at keeping up with the ever-changing demands of tradeshows but also anticipating new ones and creating solutions before problems occur. His goal is to partner with every participating company to successfully develop the most effective marketing package possible through their trade show experience. His reputation as a master of the art of putting on a great trade show has resulted in invitations to share his ideas in over 400 seminars throughout the country.
