Welcome, Sit Down and Enjoy the Show!

Welcome to CSI’s new blog! Here we’re going to share some trade show advice, interesting stories and let you know a little more about who makes up CSI. We warn you-it might get a little wacky, but that’s what this forum is for: to communicate informally to our clients and friends and have fun while we do it. We love what we do and we want to show you why!

For this first post we’d like to introduce you to our newest addition, industry veteran and all around conference service queen, Karen May. As Vice President Sales & Marketing, Karen helps CSI using her endless list of resources for the amplified demand for trade show and exposition companies in Arizona and throughout the country. Karen's really seen and done it all, running shows from 10-10,000 attendees, but she remains an innovator who challenges herself and her team to do the next event better.

In her spare time (what is spare time?) she has fun with her pets and runs events for charitable organizations including 2006 New Times “Best of Phoenix” A’ Fare to benefit March of Dimes, JDRF, Hemophilia Salsa Challenge, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, The Children’s Angel Foundation. Karen is also the co-founder of “Comedy 4 Canines”, a fundraiser benefiting animal rescue in Arizona.
