White Plains, NY — The transfer of ownership of the Portland Gift & Accessories Show from GLM, a dmg world media business, to Western Exhibitors Inc. has been finalized. Effective immediately, Western Exhibitors Inc., which owned the event until 2005 when it was purchased by dmg world media, takes over full ownership and continues the show’s management responsibilities that it resumed in March of this year.
“Dmg world media is in the midst of increasing its focus on larger, faster-growing events. The sale of the Portland Gift Show is one of the final steps toward reaching this strategic goal,” commented Alan Steel, executive vice president, dmg world media. “Returning the Show to Western Exhibitors, its original owner, is a natural choice, given its intimate knowledge of the market and high level of customer service. It is a seamless transition.”
The next edition of the Portland Gift & Accessories Show will be held concurrently with the Portland Cash & Carry Show, October 9–11, at the Oregon Convention Center. The spring 2010 edition of the Portland Gift Show will shift to a later date pattern, in response to exhibitor requests, and will run February 27–March 2, at the Oregon Convention Center.
Additional information and registration is available online or call (800) 346-1212.
