overdue for a trade show of this size.
"The Fresh Idea Show will bring buyers and sellers of
event services face to face and allow creativity to
explode," said Richard Aaron, CMP, CSEP, president of

this show will open up a whole new world of possibilities
and offer entree into the vibrant event community in
New York City. For professional event planners the show
will recharge creative juices in the most exciting city
in the world."
According to Myles McGrane of the Jacob K. Javits
Convention Center, one of the city's most versatile
facilities noted for trade shows and conventions accommodating
groups from 10 people to 18,000 people, "Javits has
done an effective job of selling New York to the world.
Now we want to focus on working in our own neighborhood
to encourage use of the Javits Center for corporate
special events and meetings. We are pleased to be joining
BiZBash in hosting this event and look forward to many
fresh ideas for using our facilities."
At The Fresh Idea Show, BiZBash will attempt
to establish a Guiness World Record for the largest
nametag ever made and a second record for the largest
