Candy is the best events person that I have ever had the pleasure to work with.  Not only is Candy a strategic thinker, helping to match the event strategy with the overall marketing strategy, she saves money as she does it!  I have used Candy’s services at several companies.  The most memorable one is where we executed a show strategy that had a direct effect on Intel purchasing the startup company we were working together on for $500m in cash.  Candy is also exceptionally well-networked and can often make miracles happen, sometimes within hours.  There is none better.

I’ve worked with Candy Adams for more than five years and wouldn’t participate in a trade show without her.  Her attention to detail and her significant knowledge of the inner-workings of the trade show industry are invaluable to Leap Wireless International, Inc.  She has helped us put our best foot forward at each show and her contributions are always reflected in the return on investment.

I want to provide a reference for Candy Adams’ trade show and event management services.  Candy has worked with me personally on an Executive Lunch Series where we hold 20 to 30 events annually at locations in major cities across the country.  Candy is always extremely thorough in her work, often uncovering details that I may have neglected to fully think through.  She is very responsive from both email and phone and she always thinks and acts in terms of the overall goal to deliver an outstanding event instead of just following through on the specific actions I may have given her. 

Needless to say, I would highly recommend Candy Adams if I needed help in planning or executing an event.

I have worked with Candy Adams since 2002 in conjunction with our annual trade show.  Candy is above and beyond one of the most qualified and professional individuals I have ever worked with.  Candy is reliable, resourceful, ambitious, and well-organized.  We have a very small staff and Candy is invaluable to me and our event!  I highly recommend Ms. Adams.

Candy has been an exceptional resource and partner for the Wi-Fi Alliance’s tradeshow efforts since 2000.  I am consistently amazed at how much I learn from her each year.  Her experience with tradeshows is greatly valued and we know that we can count on her to make sure we have great exhibits and vendors who can get the job done with innovative ideas.

Candy Adams has worked with the San Diego Supercomputer Center for the past 7 years.  I have personally worked with her for the past three.  From senior management through the hands-on working team, we have found Candy to be invaluable to us through her contacts, industry relationships and intense knowledge of the industry. 

Through this level of expertise, Candy has saved SDSC thousands of dollars annually that would not have been possible without her.  She has been a vital partner in delivering a successful experience for SDSC year after year.

Candy is a delight to work with.  Very organized and thorough.  Every event she handles for us is detailed in a show plan that makes everyone’s job easier.  She is very easy to reach and her industry knowledge saves us a ton of time.

Candy Adams and Trade Show Consulting have helped a number of our clients create great trade shows. Candy has consistently gone beyond the call of duty, both to make things happen and to save money. Whenever any of our clients needs to put on a seminar or a trade show, I immediately get on the phone to Candy. In the 4 years we have worked together she has never let us down.

We absolutely without a doubt in my mind could not have done this project with so much ease without our "Booth Mom"! Thank you so much for working so hard, being so committed to excellence and for just being our caretaker.

In the various new portfolios (for the CTSM designation) that we have reviewed this year, the most frequently referenced seminar (at Exhibitor Show) that candidates have put to use in their programs to make improvements is Candy's all-day workshop for rookies. Thanks for doing such a great job in presenting the basics of trade show management to our candidates!

From the minute the intimidating show guide arrives in the mail, a trade show can be overwhelming for both the uninitiated and the seasoned show veteran. Thankfully, Candy Adams has led me through many "show binders" and beyond to great success, exceptional show floor visibility, and post-show returns on our corporate investments.

In managing numerous industry events and tradeshows for IPivot, Candy has consistently proven her consummate professionalism and wide breadth of knowledge in making each one a huge success. Her impeccable attention to detail left no rock unturned, no potential customer name uncaptured, and no need for worry because every possible need was anticipated and planned for in advance.

Using the knowledge that I gained in Candy's seminars I was able to save our company almost 50%. This is no small number when you have a seven figure budget!

Candy Adams made light work of a truly daunting task, and created the kind of momentum seen rarely in this business. She is a dynamic lead, and motivated everyone around her toward the common goal. The results were fantastic.

Thank you for giving us "newbies" all of the important information in exhibiting at trade shows. I went back to my office this morning and started to go through my trade show manuals. The forms made much more sense to me now. You did such a terrific job in presenting your material that I cannot express what a joy it was for me to attend the
conference.
