It’s not 1991 anymore. Business moves in real-time today, but many contractors do not. We’re not built like other contractors, though. T3 Expo has been designed to operate as a highly-efficient design, production and distribution powerhouse, leveraging the latest technology to deliver results, on-demand.

We start by understanding your requirements and goals. We offer several different pricing models to suit your needs. Whether you are looking to lower exhibitor rates, stay within a fixed show management budget, build your brand or increase revenue, we have an objective-based pricing solution for you.

Don’t expect to see that same old gray chair you rented eight years ago either. We are proud to offer an exciting new line of furnishings and accessories. From fresh floor covering alternatives and green products, to chairs and tables and lighting you’d love to have in your own home. You’ll be amazed at the new options you and your exhibitors will have at your fingertips.

And we don’t stop there. We strongly believe in, and are committed to our culture of innovation. We are progressive by nature and will promise to deliver a continuous stream of timely and relevant innovations from digital signage and way-finding systems to freight tracking and e-commerce solutions for mobile devices. We will always listen to our customers so that we can help shape the future of our industry.

In short, we have founded T3 Expo as a viable alternative for today’s show managers. One that delivers better end-results by listening to its customers and working more efficiently. Above all, we’re here to help you succeed. Save money. Grow your event.

T3 Expo is a new, general service contractor that is on a mission to make trade shows and corporate events more productive — with new products, pricing models and innovative solutions that aim to reinvigorate the role of service contractors. The T3 Expo experience is unlike any other. We aim to raise the bar on your next event.

What is an Eventgineer? A marketing phrase or a change in approach? We don’t believe in titles that silo innovation. Every person that works at T3 is an Eventgineer! We each have our unique strengths, but at our core, we are all absolutely committed to listening to our customers and finding a solution that makes their event experience better.

Chris Valentine, industry innovator and visionary, has continuously listened to stakeholders and challenged the status quo since his start with Champion Exposition Services in 1994. His unique perspective on customer service is based upon his experience developing solutions while serving as CFO and CIO. Because of this, he realized that building strong relationships always outperforms trying to micro manage the bottom line.

“The time is right,” he said “for changing everything about the way contractors do business. The last true innovation in our industry occurred in the early ‘90s with the advent of overnight delivery services and the Internet.”

Chris has a clear picture in his mind of the day when customers regain control of their events, have tools to easily access information and can support their brand image with virtually unlimited options for products and services.

Nate Derby started his career in the hospitality industry working for the Ritz Carlton. He believes that serving the customer is above all else. The Ritz has a saying, “Ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.” This is now part of his core beliefs and he lives it every day.

Nate was hired in 1998 by Champion Exposition Services to bring that same superior level of service to the trade show industry. Once at Champion, Nate grew quickly from Account Executive to National Sales Executive and Vice President of Corporate Events during which time he built a team to deliver high-caliber customer service to the corporate event market. Nate has attained and produced some of the nation’s leading events for clients such as; Oracle, Salesforce.com, Cisco Live!, RSA, Microsoft, Adobe, Association for Wall and Ceiling and America Culinary Federation among others.

Chris Young started in the trade show industry 18 years ago. For those of you that know Chris will now think that he must have started working when he was 12.

At the time, innovative design for an event consisted of a Gerber Vinyl cutter and magic markers. Since then, Chris has worked on implementing a number of design standards including 3-D modeling and virtual walk-throughs, an environmental approach to signage and wayfinding, use of customer theme props, digital signage and green exhibiting. Over the years his efforts have garnered a number of awards for Champion Exposition, including IAEE Art of the show and Tradeshow Executive Innovation Award for Digital Signage. How does he do it? He listens and applies real world knowledge for the benefit of the client.

Eric Osborne is a problem solver. He listens, evaluates, executes and constantly exceeds the expectations of his clients. From illustration and graphic design to 3D animation and Flash development, Eric has applied these skills to interactive sponsorship sites, proposal micro-sites, conceptual designs and movies. His goal is to bring marketing visions to reality. Most recently, Eric has developed the T3 brand identity and has begun work on the new T3 site and e-commerce platform. Don’t mistake Eric’s quietness for lack of passion, a great listener and doer makes a great Eventgineer.
