About John Recker

Managing Trade Show Events, End-to-End, and Achieving Company Objectives Behind every great trade show event, there is a Trade Show Operations Manager who perseveres past every possible obstacle ensuring that all is ready at show opening. That’s me! I have rolled up my sleeves and delivered “no matter what.” The people I have worked with will tell you that I can be counted on to deliver every single time. My background includes both vendor and client experience. I give close attention to every facet and detail of events from development of event strategy to implementing and delivering all components of an event. I have an outstanding record of managing budgets and all financial aspects of an event, while meeting timelines within budgets. I consistently follow-up with vendors and suppliers and am always on the lookout for ways to minimize costs. At the conclusion of every event I hold post event meetings with all involved, reviewing and analyzing so that the next event also exceeds expectations. Additionally, here are a few additional skills I possess: • Exhibit Design, Build & Specifications Drawings • Graphic Design • Manage Over 100 Events Per Year • Collaborative, with Strong Verbal & Written Communications And, here are a few of my accomplishments: • Drove and managed efforts that reduced costs and improved workflow through-out the department. Achieved an average operational cost savings of 30%. • Proactively and consistently communicated project status, program deadlines, areas of concern and potential issues. Enabled and ensured alignment of all parties to the event. Achieved stakeholder tradeshow outcomes and objectives. • On the vendor side, I created, setup and managed workflow processes and provided excellent customer service and support, insuring customer loyalty and repeat business.
