Outdoor Retailer along with the Outdoor Industry Association, are “engaging the industry in a consultative and comprehensive approach to determine the best growth path and future for the semi-annual outdoor tradeshows,” according to OR show officials.  A formal discussion period will launch within whats called the “Collective Voice” website.  In the meantime find out more information at www.outdoorretailer.com/collective-voice. This is a destination for learning about the event’s history, along with a small list of venues within the nation that could host the current show (Summer or Winter – or both), while engaging in on-going discussion in a secure moderated on-line forum.

Condit’s client list at the show includes: Smartwool, Craghoppers, Point 6, Cascade Designs, La Sportiva, Exped and Filson.

Jenn Wilkinson from Smartwool commented, “The Salt Palace is too old and tired for this event, Salt Lake City lacks sufficient lodging to handle the attendees and exhibitors.  A tie in to the Snow Show and the Winter Sports Market would mean huge costs savings and the location in Denver is brand appropriate for all of these.  The location is central for most western travellers and the airport is a united hub and international link for overseas attendees.  Smartwool votes for Denver.”

Among the booths many features, Jenny Segale, Condits Business Development Representative explained, was a portable HD camera mounted to the top of one of the workstations – this camera streamed a LIVE video feed from the show floor, accessible by connecting to a simple landing page online.  This demonstration highlighted Level 3′s Vyvx Video Broadcasting Solutions and was a raging success at the show.

Melissa Bokovitz, Event Planner - Marketing for Level 3 enthused “Thank you Condit for all your help with NAB and the new booth.  The show went very well and we got a lot of positive feedback on the booth.”

For more than 85 years, the NAB Show continues to be the essential destination for the broader-casting® professionals who share a passion for bringing content to life on any platform – even if they have to invent it.  From creation to consumption, this is the place where possibilities become realities and Level 3 has more than proven that with their technology.

The NAB show comes back to Las Vegas in 2013 April 8 – 11.

Condit Exhibits today announced the expansion of their main offices and warehousing facilities into a newly designed space in downtown Denver. The added space meets both the physical requirements to maintain future growth and also adds synergies to Condit’s business operations, creative design, and warehousing teams.

The new office opens at an opportune time as Condit’s president, Mike McGowan, noted that the current facilities are “bursting at the seams” due to the substantial growth Condit has experienced the past few years building custom trade show exhibits and structures. Richard Raedeke, VP of Operations, noted “we’ll be growing together at our new facility and the added collaboration between our team members is only going to improve our already highly lauded client experience.” This is the third such move in Condit’s near 70-year history to keep up with expansion and business growth.

Condit Exhibits began serving clients in the Denver area as a family run company in 1945 with a small storefront on Colfax and three artists. While Condit had expanded to over a dozen talented individuals by the mid 1960’s, it was clear a new facility was needed to accommodate the continued growth of the business. In 1976, Condit Exhibits opened the doors at its current location at 500 W. Tennessee Ave. expanding its footprint in downtown Denver. Fast forward to today, Condit Exhibits utilizes over 87,000 sq/ft of space and is still growing rapidly as the top Denver trade show exhibit company. It became clear to both Condit’s President, as well as its VP of Operations, that bringing everything together under a “new roof, and a big roof at that” was required to continue Condit’s expansion.

After an exhaustive search of the greater Denver area, Condit found a building that not just suited their physical requirements but also a location which would create the least impact on their people.

The new facility is located at the Colorado Trade Center on 5151 Bannock Street and covers 108,000 sq/ft, providing ample space for current operations and an opportunity to double in size when future business requires it. Condit is currently retrofitting the space to maintain the same trendy, cool culture and function so synonymous with their main office on Tennessee Ave. A move of this magnitude requires a great deal of care and the process is detailed below:

• Stage 1: April, 2012 – The warehouse and trade show exhibit services operations will be transitioning into the new facility. Condit’s planning team have already staged the move and have ensured ample time and support to make the move as smooth as possible.
• Stage 2: Q4-2012 & Q1-2013 – The main offices and manufacturing operations will move into the newly retrofitted/remodeled office space. The remodel itself is being coordinated with Condit’s creative design team to ensure the infrastructure and space truly captures the Condit feel.

The Condit team looks forward to the move and the ability to better serve their clients at the new office.

Thank you Laura (Laura Braafladt, Condit Exhiits Senior Account Executive). You, and the whole Condit Team, have been excellent partners for this project. The timeline was short and the project ambitious but you delivered a great booth and outstanding service.
