Industry: Communication Services

First Day Return: +14.7%

We are the largest operator of business-to-business ("B2B") trade shows in the United States, with some of our trade shows dating back over 110 years. We currently operate more than 50 trade shows, including 31 of the top 250 trade shows in the country as ranked by TSNN, as well as numerous other events. In 2016, our events connected over 500,000 global attendees and exhibitors and occupied over 6.5 million NSF of exhibition space. We have been recognized with many awards and accolades that reflect our industry leadership as well as the importance of our shows to the exhibitors and attendees we serve. We were carved out of The Nielsen Company and acquired by Onex in 2013, and rebranded under the name Emerald Expositions as a standalone platform. Since then, we have grown our business both organically and through strategic acquisitions in existing and new verticals. Our first and largest acquisition was George Little Management in 2014 and we have completed twelve additional tuck-in acquisitions since then to broaden our event portfolio and solidify our position as the largest U.S. trade show organizer. In recent years, we have continued to enhance our business by expanding our base of international exhibitors and attendees.
