Red 7 Media Launches Agenda XPO Los Angeles

Market Wire, September, 2008

Red 7 Media, the world's largest publisher of event and trade show information, announced today the launch of Agenda XPO Los Angeles, a one-day educational conference and trade show connecting special event and corporate meeting planners with leading venues and event services providers. The event will be held at The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel on Oct. 29, 2008.

The show marks the latest expansion of Agenda USA into the California market. Serving major U.S. business markets for more than 20 years with resource tools for special event and corporate meeting planners, Agenda currently publishes the Agenda California Special Events Resource Directory each November for 20,000 event professionals, the Agenda California Fall/Holiday Planner in June, and maintains www.AgendaOnline.com , an online search engine for finding event venues and services nationwide.

Agenda California is the third annual show in the Agenda XPO series. Agenda held shows in New York for nine years and last fall launched its first conference in Boston.

Why This, Why Now?

"While the Southern California market is a natural expansion area for Agenda's live events, we take our lead from our event planning subscribers, who have asked us to bring in a quality show that provides thoughtful, relevant, take-away educational sessions and the opportunity to really talk business with key venues and service providers," said Jim Alkon, Group Publisher of Red 7 Media's Event Group.

One educational track, Event Management and Growth Strategies, features a session on Meetings and Events in a Changing Business Climate. A second track on Event Trends and Inspiration will feature Maximizing the Benefits of Eco-Conscious Events, Event Design Trends, 15 Ways to Green Your Event Today, and Fresh Technology for Modern Events.
