Fort Atkinson, WI (August 17, 2015) – Ground Support Worldwide magazine, the largest global GSE publication, and the International Airport Equipment Manufacturers Assn. (IAEMA) have reached an agreement to jointly host the largest GSE-only industry event, the International Airport GSE Expo.  The event is scheduled for October 18-20, 2016, at the Rio Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

The event brings together Ground Support Worldwide’s GSE Expo and IAEMA’s International Airport Expo, to create the one and only ground support equipment trade show in 2016.  It also marks the culmination of almost two years of discussion to address the desires for a single, equipment-focused event to serve the ground support industry.

“We are extremely excited to partner with IAEMA, to provide our industry with the best venue to meet suppliers, network with peers, and bring decision makers together in one place,” says Sue Ralston, show director, International Airport GSE Expo. 

IAEMA Board Member, Virginia Salas added, “our mission from the first day was to listen, provide and support our industry with the business interests that help us all grow.  Having a single GSE show located in North America that alternates biennially with Inter Airport in Munich was a strong desire expressed by the entire GSE community and I am pleased IAEMA was able to meet this by partnering with GSE Expo.”

Ms. Ralston requests that those interested in attending or exhibiting at the 2016 event to stay tuned for updates on registration, exhibitor materials, and hotel information via Ground Support Worldwide magazine and its newsletter.
