 Orlando
Convention Aid was established in 2004 by Steve Bellas.
His goal was to offer a service designed to bring together the
four critical components for any successful event. Event Management,
Exhibitors, Attendees and Suppliers working collaboratively, effectively
and taking advantage financially of every opportunity available.
Formerly the Director of Sales for the Orange County Convention
Center and several convention hotels within Florida, Steve
has over 25 years of experience
in the convention and hospitality industries and a thorough knowledge of
the Orlando marketplace. He established Orlando Convention Aid with two industry trends
in mind:
 The costs of
hosting a convention, trade show, or meeting and the expenses
of exhibiting or attending these events have been
increasing at a far greater rate than the rate of inflation.
This trend is challenging the convention, trade-show business
model
that has been successful in the past.
A return on the investment
required to host, exhibit. attend or supply an event at
today's costs is a challenge for event management,
exhibitors, attendees, and suppliers. This has caused a reduction
in overall attendance and in the number and size of exhibitions,
conventions and meetings. The results have severely strained the
resources of event management, exhibitors, attendees and suppliers
alike.
- The recent expansion of Convention
Centers in Orlando, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Chicago—as
well as new developments in many other cities--have created
an atmosphere of competition among the
venues in an effort to hold or expand their market share.
 WHAT
DOES ALL THIS MEAN TO YOU?
The opportunity to leverage the buying power of individual events
or through a consortium, several events, and pass on cost savings
to show management, exhibitors, attendees and suppliers has never
been stronger.
It also means that by combining our experience, knowledge and
relationships with the buying power of your event and others, Orlando
Convention Aid can provide tangible cost savings to your organization,
attendees and exhibitors.
We know what the Orlando community can do to attract your event,
or to continue your current rotation. We are ready to put this
