10 | From the Show Director GlobalShop2012 Sponsored by: Feb. 29-March 2, 2012 Sands Expo & Convention Center, Las Vegas www.globalshop.org GlobalShop 2012 Let the countdown begin he countdown to GlobalShop’s 20th anniversary show Feb. 29-March 2, 2012, is officially on. With just more than four months between now and the show, this is a great time to start making your plans to attend. GlobalShop is your annual opportunity to gather in one place with your peers and see everything new that’s happening in retail. It’s like taking everything you see here in DDI and bringing it to life—all the people, products and inspiring ideas you read about will be in Las Vegas for three days of GlobalShop (and you should be there, too!). Registration goes live on www.globalshop.org in November. Here, you can register to attend the expo, conference sessions, a keynote or one of our special events, like the Opening Night Reception (sponsored by Fleetwood Fixtures) or our expanded Retail Roundtable (sponsored by Reeve Store Equipment). Here’s an inside tip regarding registration: expo registration costs $25. However, all of our exhibitors can offer free admission to qualified attendees. So, call your favorite vendors and ask them for their special code to gain free admission to the show! It’s never too early to book your rooms in Las Vegas for GlobalShop, as the rooms closest to the show tend to sell out. The GlobalShop room block offers a variety of hotel options with a wide spectrum of discounted rates. Visit www.globalshop.org and click on Hotel Registration for more details. Speaking of hotels, while you’re in Las Vegas for the show, why not stay the weekend and enjoy all that the “Entertainment Capital of the World” has to offer? GlobalShop ends on Friday and we’ve secured the same discounted rates in our hotel block for the weekend as part of our “Come to Work, Stay to Play” program. Once the show is over, stay an extra night or two—maybe even have someone come out to meet you! There will be lots of inspiration, innovation and insights to be had when GlobalShop takes place in just four short months. We look forward to seeing you! 1145 Sanctuary Pkwy., Ste. 355 Alpharetta, GA 30009-4772 Ph: (770) 291-5400 Fax: (770) 569-5105 GLOBALSHOP SHOW DIRECTOR | Tim Fearney (770) 291-5421 tim.fearney@nielsen.com SEnIOR ACCOunT ExECuTIvE | Roarke Dowd (770) 291-5428 roarke.dowd@nielsen.com SEnIOR ACCOunT ExECuTIvE | David Muirhead (770) 291-5432 david.muirhead@nielsen.com ACCOunT ExECuTIvE | Dreama McDaniel (770) 291-5420 dreama.mcdaniel@nielsen.com MARKETInG MAnAGER | Brent Harrison (770) 291-5512 brent.harrison@nielsen.com COnFEREnCE MAnAGER | Toni Ward (770) 291-5441 antoinette.ward@nielsen.com SEnIOR OPERATIOnS MAnAGER | Derrick Nelloms (770) 291-5452 derrick.nelloms@nielsen.com Contact us: T A Division of Nielsen PRESIDEnT, nIELSEn ExPOSITIOnS | David Loechner SEnIOR vICE PRESIDEnT, HuMAn RESOuRCES | Michael Alicea SEnIOR vICE PRESIDEnT, BuSInESS DEvELOPMEnT | Darrell Denny vICE PRESIDEnT, FInAnCE | Denise Bashem Tim Fearney GlobalShop Show Director tim.fearney@nielsen.com vICE PRESIDEnT, OPERATIOnS | Lori Jenks vICE PRESIDEnT, DIGITAL | Teresa Reilly vICE PRESIDEnT, MAnuFACTuRInG & MARKETInG SERvICES | Joanne Wheatley www.ddionline.com | October 2011 http://www.globalshop.org http://www.globalshop.org http://www.globalshop.org http://www.ddionline.com
