Great Learning Environment & Culture - Vice President TECHEXPO Employee Review

As the founder of the company, I was always running a hundred miles an hour, constantly traveling and expanding our shows around the USA. I was very proud that we assisted hundreds of thousands of tech & cyber professionals find new jobs (especially the veterans!) Most importantly I was blessed to have a great team that helped me grow the business to be the number one job fair for the defense industry for over 20 years and with that we also had wonderful memories along the way.

The only con is that this company is no longer producing events. After being sold into the CyberRisk Alliance in late 2022, this division got smaller and less attention. The focus was on the Cyber Security Summits which indeed made more sense, The TECHEXPO events were live job fairs and with the growing trend of professionals finding their job online, these job fairs got smaller over time in both companies participating and job fair attendees overall. Thus, in the end it did make perfect sense to close down this division. We did help hundreds of thousands of professionals gain new employment, and I am grateful that my team and I were able to help so many people for over 20 years.

After several months of working at TECHEXPO, I am fully confident that I made the right decision to change career paths from the Entertainment Industry to Event Coordination. I appreciate every day of working with amazing co-workers and CEO, Bradford. I am currently an Events/Marketing Associate, therefore my role varies from Attendee Outreach, Event Logistics, Customer Service, Administrative Office Duties, and Developing/Creating Marketing and Event Sponsorship opportunities. This is the most hospitable "family-like" team that I have ever worked with. No co-worker simply has one job. Every colleague pitches in when help is needed. I appreciate that I was properly trained and explained tasks in a detailed manner in order to successfully manage those tasks. Not only is this company a great place to start your career, but it is a great company to grow your career as well. Looking forward to the future.

Due to the fact that we produce 60+ events a year, it can at times be a lot to manage. That isn't necessarily a con, but it some people can interpret it that way if they aren't used to a heavy workload. This is definitely a company for someone who likes to keep busy.
